I cannot make this presentation better than its origin: Out of the book "War of Ideas" by Walid Phares (a world renowned terrorism and Middle East expert) I will quote excerpts from merely one page. The book is very informative and anyone will be enlightened who takes the time to read it. You too, will see why America cowers to the enemy..and why if nothing is done, we will lose to this enemy. Elections matter; politicians can frame the future, but a better informed America is our best defense.
Page 194
"In the West, the central battlefields over the perception of the world remain academic and educational. As detailed earlier, at least three generations of graduates of oil-funded programs have been launched into the national market, and thereby into the media, government, and arts. Even if new waves of petrodollars were stopped today, the funding over the last two decades has created a self sustaining entity in Western, and particularly American, educational institutions. The penetration is too deep to be addressed in one generation. Three generations of scholars, researchers, and teachers have consolidated their positions, programs, and influence in about a thousand institutions. Even as the war with Jihadism is raging in the real world, and America is facing off with the most dangerous enemy infiltrations it has ever known, the bulk of its students are being educated today by an elite that refuses to teach the real history and politics of the jihadists. Post 9/11 politics and elections, regardless of the winners, will not affect this greater cultural crisis. Unless an intellectual revolution takes place and academic reform follows, it is unlikely that the United States will produce the talents needed for the current and future conflicts of ideas......."
We see the end of the "Mass Media" because of these very reasons...they are not telling Americans the truth. In fact, you can hear them siding with the enemy under the cloak of being "sensitive" to them. We don't want to offend the Middle Eastern people, now do we? All the while the Middle Easterners are demonstrating in-sensitivities to everyone who does not agree with them. Heck, it doesn't seem to bother our news outlets that Jihadists butcher anyone that offends them. No no no, instead we are supposed to understand that they were so incensed, that torturing and butchering is okay behavior for the offended.
I say, pull American troops out of every Middle Eastern country; shut down all foreign military bases and hunker down. Let those who do not want our help, sort out their own mess. Too many American soldiers have died for people who do not want civility, but Sharia law. We can't impose our beliefs on anyone and are only hated for intervening in their domestic affairs. We had our own civil war, let them decide their own destiny, also.
