Mailvox: two questions on the column

VD’s new column is up and interesting to say the least. I have one Question VD: “but rather a Christian reconquista of what was once Christendom.”

Are you suggesting we invade Germany, Holland, Perhaps France?

Well, we did it twice alread, didn’t we? It’s hardly unthinkable, in fact, the concept may be redundant since we’re already occupying large chunks of it. The Fourth Reich isn’t all that different than the previous three, its merely more patient. But actually, I had in mind an invasion of missionaries rather than military forces. The reconquest will have to be in the same cultural mode as the conquest, as the jihadist invaders have also recognized.

bin Laden is dead? What? Where have I been? Under a rock? Or is this just the only logical conclusion?

Operating on the assumption that bin Laden isn’t a CIA creation – in which case he’s living in comfortable retirement under the name Olivier Benladier in the south of France – the most logical conclusion is that bin Laden has been dead since the invasion of Pakistan. The entire scenario is simply reminds me too much of a science fiction short story wherein a man intentionally immolates himself in order to ensure that he remains an elusive figure capable of inspiring action from beyond the grave.

And since it’s too the neocons’ advantage to push him as the leader of a dire “threat” to America despite the fact that illegal immigrants have been proven to be far more dangerous to Americans, bin Laden is an important bogeyman for both sides attempting to make use of the American military for their own purposes. I’d be shocked if any definite proof that he is alive ever surfaces.
