Still waiting...

It's been 24 hours since Congress decided to "outlaw torture" and stop several provisions of the Patriot Act that have proven repeatedly successful in stopping terrorist actions in the United States.

I'm busily searching Google for any sign that Iran or Syria has decided to reciprocate these selfless acts of civilized good faith by now agreeing to stop their assassination of elected officials, wanton killing of civilians for revenge, the sponsorship of groups that take part in torture and beheading of captured innocent civilians, the development of an atomic weapons and delivery system for the expressed mission of destroying the State of Israel and the publically stated position of the heads of each of their governments that A) the Jewish Holocaust did not occur and b) so what if it did, we dont like them anyway and c) its official state policy to finish the job the Nazis didnt finish and we dont care how many muslims innocents might get killed to accomplished that goal, because "its allahs will"...

Feel free to drop me a line if you've seen any sign that now that weve been nice and introspective that our enemies are now willing to join us at this glorious "peace table" that Congress has now set for us.

There are days, and this is one of them, that I think the Western world has succumbed to its gluttony of the good life of modernity and has simply gone insane. There are also days that I think that Osama was right, that we really are a paper tiger not willing to fight that will fold at the first opportunity, and this is also one of them.
