Great. Now we can’t travel
carry-on-only due to restrictions on all liquids and gels due to
yet another bunch of Islamofascist
terrorists.
Americans travel around the world
doing business, spreading ideas, creating wealth,
creating jobs, spreading freedom.
Does anyone else do this? Not really. Europeans create
basically no jobs. When they run
around the world they spread arrogance, not jobs,
liberty and wealth. Some Asians do,
but mostly they are traveling to America to do it.
Now it will be harder for Americans
– and anyone else wanting to do business – to get
business done. The rest of the
world will suffer more than will America, of course, but
we will suffer, too.
Here’s an idea: Decide that
freedom, liberty, education, Western Liberal traditions, all are
more important than some 7th-century
civilization, and quarantine them instead of
quarantining everyone else in the
world every time we want to go somewhere, do
something, create jobs, wealth or
opportunity.
This has to be addressed. Muslim
terror has to stop. It cannot be stopped through
namby-pamby hearts-and-minds nonsense. If they
won’t reform themselves, if they
won’t wage peace on their
populations and mosques and schools, then we can wage
peace with a vengeance and leave
‘em all Resting In Peace.
Then the rest of the world – that
part living in the modern age – can get back to work,
travel, play and the creation of
opportunity in modern lands.
