The problem, Max, isn't the "grandstanding" of the "Tea-Party Wing" of the Republican Party, it's the go-along to get-along attitude of the Rino's who want nothing more than to remain players -permanent members of the Governing Class. Like your idol, Grandpappy McCain.

If Grandpappy McCain runs again, he'll need to sucker another conservative Republican into balancing the ticket, so that when he crashes and burns he'll have someone to blame.

Notice that for the Left, the problem is "America's" drone strikes. If a Republican were president, they would be damning the drone strikes under his name.

The money is not being stolen, because it doesn't matter what the PA does with it. The Eurotrash progressives use it to purchase an imagined moral authority that entitles them to certify victims and oppressors, freeing them from the shame of being rich and white. It's what passes for spirituality in Post-Christian Europe.

We are way over due for a truly fat president, and I'm glad Commentary has taken a bold step in this direction by citing the example of our greatest POTUS. At 300+ lbs. of solid chief executive, upholstered in miles of quality tailoring, Taft is iconic for an earlier, more confident America. And he gave us the 7th inning stretch! (What has Obama ever done for baseball?) Plus he had a personal assistant called Archie Butt.

Islam's abuse of Christians is under-reported because basically, if it doesn't fit into the progressivist narrative -and Christians in general don't fit there- it doesn't exist. Feminists will sometimes wail about the horrors faced by Saudi women drivers, but have nothing to say about Filipina Christian domestic servants regularly and widely abused there. And sometimes progressivists will draw attention to the occasional insult some ultra-Orthodox perpetrate against a Catholic cleric in Israel (Spitting! Call the UN!), as if it's morally equivalent to the rape, burning, shooting and general persecution of Christians in any Muslim-majority country. But that's Israel, and progressivists are all about doing public penance for America's Original Sin, and they'll grasp at anything to do so.

Sorry, but this is not a "great article". This is a Max Boot article, full of empty rhetoric and absurd assertions ("saving grace" my @$$) intended to tart up his insipid analysis. Max thinks we can "control" what at best we can only contain. It is hard enough to get a conceptual handle on the large and amorphous social, religious, and political phenomenon he terms "Islamist extremism" (policy makers cannot even determine a common vocabulary). Solipsistic thinking of this sort just leads to bad policy decisions.

Well, if Iran is the problem, then hit Iran. That country, as you imply, is making mischief all over the place. And hitting Iran would certainly send messages to all her clients, including Syria.

Karma --well, we all know what karma is. Anyway, I have no doubt that --far from being a "solution"-- this thing will come back to bite us all

Geez, Louise, lighten up! You seem to think the DoD has to be staffed by a bunch of Jeopardy winners! Who cares about some crappy little town in Europe anyway?
