9/11 Commemoration

Had we still been at war with Japan in 1950, would the president have spent the time rallying the troops, or would he have ignored the battle and deaths of American troops to preach tolerance (of what of course, no one is sure)? Can you imagine, from President Obama's remarks on the anniversary of that deadly sequence of attacks, that we are still at war, that we are still threatened daily, and that it takes the most vague and frankly inaccurate definition of Al Queda to say that is the only enemy.
We are not at war with Islam, per se. We are at war with a virulently anti-American form of Islam that cheers our every tragedy and threatens death at every perceived insult. It is more than Al Queda. There are groups that identify themselves with Islam all over the world that rejoiced at 9/11. Tolerance of those groups is suicide. Our president can't bring himself to say a mosque at Ground Zero is provocative. And he wonders why some Americans question his religious affiliation . . .
I don't think he is a Muslim. I think he is throroughly secularized very nominal Christian, whose creed is 'progressive' politics and whose patriotism, if any, is poorly expressed.
