For years now I have warned over and over that our continuing ignorance of history as a people would come back to haunt the United States. Our leaders insist that Islam is a peaceful religion and that only Al Qaeda and “radical Islamic extremists” (thanks for that extreme phrase, John McCain) are to blame for Islamic terrorism. But I pay attention to history and this is why I won’t shut up.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it. I didn’t want to blog about the President’s speech in a mosque yesterday; it simply makes me too furious. But I couldn’t just let the event go completely without comment.
For the record, I have lost all faith in President George W. Bush. I’ve tried very hard for several years now to believe that the President was just sly, that he really understands the threat and the ’score’, but not after yesterday.
