Sergey: I just finished reading The Man Who Was Thursday. What a strange book! And it seems like most of the characters are still chasing each other around the world today - both politically and religiously. I wasn't aware of the link with Asef. Thanks for the info.

If you were to go after assemblies of terrorists, you wouldn’t use napalm. You’d use cluster bombs or HE fused for an airburst.

Of course, where there are mobs involved, there are usually “children” involved, often being indoctrinated. I’d put the moral blame on the parents, but the press wouldn’t like that. Well, actually they would. They’d eat it up.

I still like the idea. When the press ran photos of mobs cheering and shooting guns in the air after the WTC was hit, I fantasized about a few hand grenades tossed into those mobs, to bring home to those people the horror of what they were cheering. Diagnose me if you like, Neo, but the combination of the irresponsible use of automatic weapons and the desire to cause harm to people who would almost certainly help them if the circumstance arose said to me “Evil! Enemy!” and if the evil is in the culture rather than the individual, it needs to be answered nevertheless.

Chesterton wrote an extravaganza novel about Russian anarchists and British cops fighting them: The Man Who Was Thursday. The team of anarchists turned out to consist of agents-provocateurs, and their ring-leader was the chief cop. This was written after a huge scandal emerged about Asef, leader of Russian terrorist group, who was a double agent with ties to Russian secret political police.

May be, poor reputation of FBI and CIA and leftist paranoia about Patriot Act and wiretapping are simply products of Hollywood propaganda habitually portraying them in the worst possible light, like in Syriana and in scores of political trillers. Such fears has little if any foundation in reality.

As far I know, Israel mustered the best in history anti-terrorist special services acting both domestically and abroad (Shin-Beth and Mossad), and nobody in Israel feels that they somehow infringe on their liberties. Even Israeli leftists, having much in common with American ones, do not indulge in paranoid fears about these organizations, in contrast to their American conterparts.

Things are getting much worse before they’re getting better; the mainstream haven’t really been hurt enough yet to make them angry enough to fight back; the troops are tired; Obama is riding the American intellectual malaise like a magic carpet to become POTUS. The only silver cloud is that the Clintons arrogant balloon is being popped; but the longer term tragedy that is about to unfold with the manchurian candidate, like his mentor Jimmy Cracker, will finally bring mature realism and resolve to the honest American center…..

The more the numbers fall, the more it makes the NYT right, and the greater its embattled victim status becomes, don’t-cha-know. Anyway, it’s always got the Endangerd Species Act to fall back on, so, why should a Prog Bro worry?

If the NYT loves terrorists and hates America, why do you keep reading it? Just let the free market work its magic!

And indeed the free market IS working its magic, as the Old Gray Lady’s falling readership and stock prices attest. They’ve even been frightened enough to hire Bill Kristol in order to give the appearance of balance.

But as just one out of nine op-ed writers we KNOW he’s just a figurehead, don’t we? The rest of the Op-ed staff, from Dowd to Rich, is mainly left-wing. We can only hope that there is continued failure of readership and stock prices for this traitorous rag.
