Dear Walace Edward Brand:

Seeing these facts compiled and connected altogether in one place is pretty sobering. These are the things we expect our Department of State, CIA and the permanent foreign policy establishment to know, share/explain, and use while weighing the balance on whatever scales they use to make our national policy decisions; that they have not done so, and pointedly have not bothered to pass these data on to their electorate, raises many serious questions.

How do we get beyond the post-Modernist "political correctness" to a sane, informed, rational discussion in our universities, media, our social circles, and government in general? The people who most need to know these things may not be reading DanielPipes' blogs nor reading his, MEF, or MEMRI's research papers [which may possibly be the best available]. Certainly, the commentary, conversations and colloquies are generally far better than most.

How did we suddenly have a UN that appears to have a disproportionate number of its major functions, committees, NGO's money-dispensing-apparatus controlled by Muslims? And Muslim Blocks? If anyone ever suggested a "Judeo-Christian Block", I think it would be The End of The World.

A new scam, diversion and distraction is about to foisted upon us. Brit PM Gordon Brown [avoiding Basra like the plague] wants the World Bank 's funds to be used for "Global Warming". We can't control Islamists, so let's waste $Billions trying to control the sun. They've been an abject failure with their "development" projects, which all run to "Central Planning". All but media, academia and our permanent foreign policy establishment know that all these systems are a priori dysfunctional, but it certainly hasn't slowed them down any.

I hate to bother you with this, after you've presented us with this fabulously "concise" history of our enemy's directed policies to establish the world-wide Caliphate, but, have you any suggestions? You've researched the subject and obviously pondered it mightily. Can you suggest a realistic way to fight this Third Wave, given the circumstances and facts on the ground?
