Signs of Victory

January 3, 2008

I now know how we will recognize victory in our current War against Islamists.  This most unorthodox of wars, a conflict with an ideology without a nation or empire behind it, made it so difficult to define what victory even means.

Well, thanks to the efforts of Stacey Lawson, I now have a way of knowing when we have won.

When a woman in Saudi Arabia can write absolutely bug-eyed asinine crap like this, be read by people in Iran, Pakistan, Jenin, Lebanon, Indonesia, Yemen, Somalia, and anywhere else where the Islamist ideology reigns… and stay alive for longer than one month…

…that is when we will know that we have won the war.

In fact, I think we should agree to pull out of Iraq immediately if Al Qaeda would just take Stacey Lawson off our hands and make her their principal spokesperson.

Quote of the Moment

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ---C.S. Lewis
