You hit the nail right on its head. The jihadist know better than to attack America or Israel. President Bush did a great thing by responding the way he did to the terror attacks of 9/11. By doing that he set a great precedent. Meaning countries like Iran and Syria will not be able to hide behind terrorist groops to carry out their war against the west. A nuclear attack against the U.S or Israel will be met with a fierce and devestating response. The mullahs know that all too well.

Europe on the other hand is a different matter. Europeans, with the exception of England, are willing to capitulate to islamic terror. We saw it in Spain, we saw how the Spanish cowardly withdrew its troops from Iraq and made big concessions to muslims living in Spain. One major concession europe has made is being anti-American and anti-Israel. But like in the days of world war II, we cannot lose hope. We have to have a Churchillian attitude. Their are countries in europe who are not willing to bend to islamic terror. Among them England and Germany. We will take huge casualties in this war, but victory will be ours.
