Terrorism: London, New York and elsewhere

Today is the first anniversary of the London transportation bombings.

And this just crossed the Associated Press wire:

FBI disrupts New York transportation plot
The story begins:
Authorities have disrupted planning by foreign terrorists who wanted to attack the New York City-area transportation system, the federal government announced Friday.

The planning appeared to be in the early stages, and the tunnels and other transportation routes weren't believed to have ever been at serious risk.

"We have disrupted a terrorist network that was in the planning stages of an attack," the FBI and Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. […]
A few thoughts:

London and New York: “We’re all in it together.”

Madrid, Bali, Baghdad, Miami, Toronto, Amman, Paris and many other places: “We’re all in it together.”

So how about less talk from MSM, Democrats, and other Bush-bashers about “Bush’s so called war on terror.”

Surely even Bill Keller and Pinch Sulzberger, for all their partisanship and arrogance, must now realize it’s Civilization’s war against terror.

President Bush recognized that on 9/11 as did most Americans. It's time Keller, Sulzberger and those like them did too.

Keller, Sulzberger and so many in MSM and the Democratic Party need to stop enabling terrorists and help the rest of us win the war on terrorism.

Extremist Muslim ideology fuels the terrorism. The best people to counter the ideology are moderate Muslims.

Here in the states the Council on American-Islamic Relations could do a lot more to express its rejection of extremist ideology.

CAIR could do a lot more to promote the growth of toleration in the Muslim world by, for example, pressing the Saudi government to permit the open worship of other religions in that country.

I'd also like to see CAIR openly, loudly and repeatedly condemn the virulent anti-Semitism that’s a hallmark of much of the press in Muslim countries.

Pinch can afford a helicopter - it doesn't matter if the tunnel is closed.

(Talk about something that the EPA and enviro-nuts would make impossible to restore!)

I read that 13% of Britan's muslim population regards the 7/7 bombers as hero's. That is 13% of 2M people, mind you.
