Americans are not fighting nor being targeted by an abstract called terrorism, but a growing body of ideological concepts. They need to know what is it they are up against.

It works very well, (but) it will seem strange to American eyes. No lawyers doing battle with each other, no O.J.-type trial dramatics.

I was not an Abstract Expressionist. Nor was I an Irascible.

This is a new terrorism message.

Just as the Carthaginians hired mercenaries to do their fighting for them, we Americans bring in mercenaries to do our hard and humble work. I hope we may not be overwhelmed one day by peoples not too proud or too lazy or too soft to bend to the earth and pick up the things we eat.

We absolutely do not see this in ideological terms, nor are we aligning ourselves with any particular individual person, nor are we taking the stance because of some selfish interest of our own.
