was struck by this article's observation about the short term memories we have about our foreign policies. It is true that in the 80s Islam was our best friend, allies in a fight for freedom.

My reaction is pretty much, WTF? Weren't these guys our pals just 20 years ago or so? Whose fault is it that they aren't anymore, and who is refusing to talk to whom and make nice?

The communists were our "pals" during World War II, that doesn't mean that we didn't do the right thing by parting company after the common enemy was defeated.

And the Islamists were never fighting for "freedom," they were fighting for Islamism. I don't think that we should be at war with these people, but I can't stomach the thought of religious nuts of any stripe as kindred spirits. The Ayatollahs are as poisonous to freedom as Karl Marx or John Hagee.

I was as much a true believer in the Cold War while it was going on as anybody else. But, after the fact, viewing how quickly the USSR collapsed, and with the historical knowledge we now have of events in the late forties, it looks more and more as if that parting of company was a put-up job to keep the military-industrial complex thriving. I'm afraid we were suckers.

Today, with "Islamism" a much less credible threat to this country than Communism ever was, the put-up job nature of the hostility and confrontation is a lot more obvious.

Islamism is only a problem among expatriate Muslim communities in western countries. The way to solve this problem is not by going to war with Muslim countries but by putting an end to immigration from those countries.

The fact that people like Bush, McCain, Hillary, etc. want more wars while supporting open borders with the third world proves that their real agenda has nothing to do with the "Islamic threat" at all. But it's a convenient cover for people who don't know any better.
