I notice on the Talking Points Memo<\/a> that Steve King, US. Representative from Iowa, said “I will tell you that, if he [Senator Obama] is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror.”
\n

Um, can they declare victory and go home?
\n

I don’t want to make anything, you know, serious out of this, but would it be an altogether bad thing if amongst the more ignorant anti-Americans there grew a false belief that the President of the United States was secretly a Muslim? If they thought we’ve won, the American fools have withdrawn their troops because B. Hussein Obama told them to, now we can stop donating to those Al-Qaida assholes<\/i>?
\n

I’m not saying that it would happen. I mean, it’s a fundamentally stupid thing. But what worries me is the sneaking suspicion that a US Representative really honestly deep down feels that his job is to prevent jubilation on the streets of Damascus and Tehran. Bloodshed is one thing, but let there be no glee.
