Luckily, The Muslims Do My Work For Me

One of the great things about being an unabashed and unapologetic reactionary is that the natural course of events favor my side. Even though there are only about 23 of us in the country right now, the fantastic thing is we always win in the end.

Take Afghanistan, for example. There have been debates on top of debates but at the bottom of the ninth, at the end of the day, and at the finish of any other cliche you can think of, the fact remains that Afghanistan is populated entirely by Muslims.

Which means that certain rules and restrictions not only may apply, but do, in spades. To take one at random...let me see...so much to choose from, you see, ah yes, this one will do: Muslims have no concept of Western honor and will side with whoever holds the gun.

Surprise! Billions of dollars and thousands of American lives later, our man in Kabul is planning to cut himself a deal.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Two senior Afghan officials were showing President Hamid Karzai the evidence of the spectacular rocket attack on a nationwide peace conference earlier this month when Mr. Karzai told them that he believed the Taliban were not responsible.

“The president did not show any interest in the evidence — none — he treated it like a piece of dirt,” said Amrullah Saleh, then the director of the Afghan intelligence service.

Mr. Saleh declined to discuss Mr. Karzai’s reasoning in more detail. But a prominent Afghan with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Mr. Karzai suggested in the meeting that it might have been the Americans who carried it out.

Minutes after the exchange, Mr. Saleh and the interior minister, Hanif Atmar, resigned — the most dramatic defection from Mr. Karzai’s government since he came to power nine years ago. Mr. Saleh and Mr. Atmar said they quit because Mr. Karzai made clear that he no longer considered them loyal.

But underlying the tensions, according to Mr. Saleh and Afghan and Western officials, was something more profound: That Mr. Karzai had lost faith in the Americans and NATO to prevail in Afghanistan.

For that reason, Mr. Saleh and other officials said, Mr. Karzai has been pressing to strike his own deal with the Taliban and the country’s archrival, Pakistan, the Taliban’s longtime supporter. According to a former senior Afghan official, Mr. Karzai’s maneuverings involve secret negotiations with the Taliban outside the purview of American and NATO officials.

In other words, the normal ruthless power politics as usual prevail and all the talk of schools for girls and agriculture development and aqueduct policies were all wasted.

And, I might add--as AFW can testify to--this all was done by the United States Government while its own core institutions, even its main military cemetery, are under-staffed and under-funded and limp along in horrific dysfunction, manned by cretins in a terrible Work-fare program to find jobs for the local morons, while the entire time the USG buries its dead in Arlington while the actual town of Arlington itself has become a Muslim enclave, complete with Hezbollah banners and women in the Full Monty.

It's enough to make you cry, if you don't laugh. Except, as always, the best and the responsible shoulder the personal and fiscal responsibility for such laughable statesmanship.

In other news, the Border Patrol--whose agents continue to patrol the border even though they must know that their leaders WILL hang them if it becomes politically expedient to do so--is under fire in Mexico because one teenager was shot dead.

Less than 24 hours later, a drug gang composed of former Mexican military personnel have launched raids on Christian drug-rehab facilities--with 50 cal. machine guns no less--killing more than 40 in ten minutes of organized barbarianism.

Those who did that will pass unpunished, while somewhere in US law enforcement is a poor slob who is about to get a lesson in realpolitick to satisfy our masters in Mexico City.

On all of this, it is little comfort to me that it is obvious to my mind how things will proceed and go down. The only thing that gives me comfort is the certainty that one day--one day very, very soon, a day I once thought I would not live long enough to see--the core of the American people will learn to hate their government as much as their government hates them.
