If anyone needed more proof that the entire world is under attack by radical Muslims, this should provide more than enough. Of course for the ostriches in our midst, nothing would be enough, and that is the primary problem the non-radical-Mulim world faces. For years, ever since the nuclear war scares of the 50s through the 80s (still gasping along), most people have envisioned this ever-expected and often paralyzing catclysm as being in fact a worldwide atomic Armageddon. It has become apdictic that we are indeed engaged in a world war, but not the one so long feared. This one, as Giuliani puts it, a war of terror on us (non-radical-Muslim humanity) is spreading and intensifying precisely because the majority of those being attacked are in denial.
That very sort of denial is what allowed Hitler to gain the power that he did, and conquer the nations he did. Almost too late, the rest of the world woke up. How long is it going to take this time? How many nations, beginning with Iran, over 25 years ago, must fall to this fanaticism, before the rest of us wake up?
