Only when American cities are reduced to rubble

Only when foreign regimes can force Americans to choose between "bad"or "not so bad" Islamist terrorist rulers, as happened to Syrians until Russia, Iran and Lebanon came to their rescue -- 

Only then will Americans confront the evil of a democratic republic helping Wahhabist oil kingdoms around the world.  

After 9/11 I was overcome with guilt because I hadn't paid enough attention to my own country in the years running up to the attack. I vowed to pay close attention from then on. What I have seen since has taught me that no matter how well a democracy might work within a nation, it can be fully as deadly as tyranny when acting abroad.

God forgive us. God save us all.
