The Real Front Line

The Grozny attack was staged by a key neoconservative ally against the gatekeepers of the True West defined by the recapitulation of all three of the Old Israel, Hellenism and the Roman Empire. The gatekeepers both against Islamic conquest, whether military or by other means, and (for all the good things that must be said about Confucianism, in particular) against economic, and thus also cultural, domination by South or East Asia. And now also the gatekeepers against the enemy within, Islamic expansionism's, and Indian and Chinese economic domination's, ally while pretending to be at least the former's foe: the indebted, stupefied, promiscuous pseudo-West that the neocons revile the rest of us for rightly hating.

Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Xinjiang, Jundullah, all that Saudi money: of all the lies that the neocons tell about themselves, none is more blatant or more pernicious than that they are opposed to Islamist terrorism and expansionism. On the contrary, it suits them down to the ground. And they very actively encourage it accordingly. At your expense and mine.
