It comes down to what Machiavelli said. This system works this way because most humans are VULGAR. Those few who are not are isolated and impotent in a sea of willing rats.

Charles Krauthammer wrote a column today in the Washington Post. The following paragraph is from that column ("The Other Shoe").

"Or, to put it less psychologically and more strategically: Part of the appeal of al Qaeda -- what it uses to recruit people and funds -- is its mystique. Superhuman feats, brilliant execution, masterful planning. That aura feeds its ideology of historical inevitability, that ultimately it will prevail over Western decadence, because the seemingly high-tech West lacks the diabolical and methodical will that Islamism brings to the war."

"The West lacks the diabolical and methodical will that Islam brings to war"( I keep repeating this sentence over and over - It is Twilight Zone time).

This is doublespeak. It is the opposite of the truth and it is what "officialdom" prints in the Washington Post.

We have to lose.
