Commencement ceremonies for terrorists.<\/a><\/p>\n

The video included lengthy, detailed footage of a terrorist training camp situated somewhere in North Waziristan. As masked fighters pass in front of the camera, a nasheed song plays for viewers, imploring, “Look at the people of Allah, They came out to sacrifice their lives\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 They came out to shed their blood\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 No worry for home, no worry for land, no worry for lives they have. They are wise people who live in fear of Allah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Those who fight against the infidels are the mujahideen. Their dreams have come true.” Later, an unidentified narrator explains in Urdu: “In front of your eyes, these selected Muslim youths are preparing for jihad. Allah said, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcPrepare to the greatest extent possible against the infidels.’ The Prophet said, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThe power is in the shooting’\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe power is in the shooting, the power is in the shooting\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Today, [our enemies] are insulting the Quran. Today, they are insulting our Prophet Mohammed, and they kill Muslims wherever they want\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 So, according to the orders of Allah, it is our duty to prepare ourselves against the infidels and our responsibility\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 May Allah increase the passion for our religion among the Muslim youth, and may he grant us the strength to prepare ourselves to defend his religion.” To underline the purpose of the training offered at the camp, one of the masked recruits is shown sitting amongst his comrades and singing by himself in Urdu: “O’ infidels of the East and West, we have plans for you. We all must die, life is too short. You (Muslims) must act now, we are being oppressed. O’ soldiers of Islam, come here for jihad. O’ soldiers of Islam, come here for jihad.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

America’s Nervous Breakdown by Victor Davis Hanson on National Review Online<\/a><\/p>\n

The natural order of the world is chaos, not calm. Like it or not, for over a half-century the United States alone restrained nuclear bullies, kept the sea lanes free from outlaws, and corralled rogue nations. America alone could provide that deterrence because we produced a fourth of the world’s goods and services, and became the richest country in the history of civilization.<\/p>\n

But the bill for years of massive borrowing for oil, for imported consumer goods, and for speculation has now has finally come due on Wall Street, and for the rest of us as well.<\/p>\n

Should that heart of American financial power in New York falter, or even appear to falter, then eventually the sinews of the American military will likewise slacken. And then things could get ugly, real fast.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
