Mark Steyn writes in this column that our entire approach to the case of Zacarias Moussaoui has been off the mark and I have to say I agree. The Islamofascists should never have seen the inside of a courtroom. To allow them into civilian courts is to implicitly accept the premise that we are not in a war but rather are dealing with a criminal matter than can be settled by lawyers and judges. But of course, we had just that policy during the many years and decades leading up to the attack on 9-11. The truth of the matter is that we are dealing with people who have chosen to wage a real war on all those who do not share their political ideology. Unfortunately there are a large number of people in our own country, and particularly on the Angry Left, who are doing their best to deny the fact that this is so. And they are using all their power in the media to try to convince the American public that we should just go back to the days before 9-11 and pretend that everything will be fine as long as we hide our heads in the sand.
