Mark Helprin Speaks

Helprin doesn't often publish in the mainstream media anymore, but when he does he should be read and his words heeded. I think he's a little overly pessimistic in this case, but not by much. The West must, officially I mean, name the enemy--radical Islam--and make plain that sedition will be prosecuted. ANd then the war must be taken to Riyadh, Damascus, or anywhere else. By all means necessary, as people used to say in a time of more moral clarity.
