Re: David Warren's "Next"

An overseas reader writes:

I read David Warren's post and I flatly disagree with the both of you at one major point: the U.S. ain't the only adult in the house. While I would've preferred that my country participate in the Iraq war; it didn't. However, we do have soldiers in Afganistan and 2 died yesterday. Germany lost 4 earlier this year.

Just because most allied countries didn't support the U.S. in the Iraq war doesn't make them infantile. Most know about the moral danger islamojihadism constitutes. They've have arrested lots of cell members and stopped many terrorist attempts.

It's important to be critical but let's not exaggerate and denigrate each other's efforts.

With all due respect, Warren was writing about the United Nations, not the individual countries. I appreciate and respect the contributions of other countries in the War on Terrorism, and I hope everybody does. Besides, several dozen countries supported the War Against Saddam Hussein.

As to the "moral danger islamojihadism constitutes", not only do I doubt that most countries understand it yet, I doubt that most Americans understand it yet, either.

See "Next".

P.S. David Warren is a Canadian.
