POPSThe ‘Useful Idiots’ Of Militant Islam
Saudi-funded publications admonish Muslims in America “to dissociate from infidels, hate them for their religion, never to rely on them for support, and always oppose them in every way according to Islamic law.” The question: how was it that among the estimated five million Muslim Americans with hugely varied institutions, the president’s advisors picked a Saudi Islamofascist ghetto as a venue? A major New York Times Magazine article argued fervently on behalf of “Islamic democrats” singing the praises of a reborn Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. An essay in Foreign Affairs, a weighty establishment publication titled “The Moderate Muslim Brotherhood.” Mild Islamism is an oxymoron. Sharia law, which sanctions beating of wives and stoning for adultery, is irreconcilable with human rights. The Muslim Brotherhood founded Hamas, calls suicide bombings a good thing, and is the 21st-century version of the organized fascism of Hitler and Mussolini in the last century.

POPSIraq: Deeper U.S. Involvement
In some ways I agree with Bush. If we don't come up with some plan to handle the mess he made in Iraq the remnants of that broken nation state will come back to haunt us. Big time. But unfortunately I feel that Bush is out of his league and hasn't clue what he is doing. Securing Iraq will take a lot more troops, a lot more than the 40,000 the president is thinking about. To that end we need to share the burden and relieve the stress on those that already serve by requiring the service of all able bodied people. If the future security of the U.S. is dependent on a secure Iraq and secure Middle East then we need sacrifice form everyone. We need the draft. We also need to raise taxes to pay for the war. What we don't need are young people largely form the lower socioeconomic classes baring the burden of the war while the SUV class buy plasma TVs made in China with their tax refund and the CEO class buy second homes in Switzerland with theirs. This is surely a recipe for disaste
