Breaking Democratic Precedent
Now we find a mass of people seemingly clearly chosing a war path against a fellow democracy. There's something to be said about traditions and histories. Napoleon once said that "History is a set of lies agreed upon." Even if that is the case there's something to be said for believing in a view and take on history that is pliable enough to try and get as close to the truth as is humanly possible rather than dogmaticaly clinging to the narrowly self-gratifying take some cultures take through their traditions.
Here's my view of what our take on the present situation would be if our outlook were as distorted as that of many in opposite ideological realms and if we had the same dogmatic emnity of those who wish to see our downfall.
"The 'Ummahist Entity' must be destroyed!"
"The socialist infidels are simply puppets of the 'Ummahist Entity'"
"The Iraq War is simply a fabrication effected by the 'Ummahist Entity' to justify their threats and continued attacks on the Western Tradition"
