In a speech a couple years ago to a group of whiny-azz libs at Georgetown Univ, Newt Gingrich made a fairly simple point in summing up the nature of our enemies: they (the islamic extremists) hate us for what we are....they will not stop until we change to fit their wishes...we will never change because what they want is fundamentally wrong in our view.

We will NEVER accept a sub-human status of women. That is totally and fundamentally opposed to what we believe, and what is an integral part of the fabic of our society.
Bin Laden produced a video where he offered the US a chance to change....change to radical islam, change everything about our lives, nation and laws. If we do, OBL said, they would stop their terrorists attacks and welcome Americans as brothers.
Newt stared at the women in the liberal audience and asked the question: is that something we should do? The libs....slowly shook their heads, no. You see, these same people in that audience were anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-everything that the US was trying to accomplish in the WAR ON TERRORISM. Suddenly, some got it.
These islamic extremists HATE us! they despise everything about us and our way of life. By their own admissions, they won't stop their war on us until we change to fit their model of the world. Well, we won't change to fit that model....for many reasons, not the least of which is the Constitution gaurantees women rights under the law.
So! we have no choice but to fight them. This is a WAR!
One has only to see how those creeps, like the example in the link above, think of women. We will never accept that. Period.
