The United States can quit the battle in Iraq but cannot quit the battle with Islamo-fascism, which is emboldened and heartened by the results yesterday. The question of how important the combat in Iraq is to the combat against Islamo-fascism is not a black and white question. If someone says Iraq is not important, I want from him an assessment of where the newly victorious forces of Islamism carry their war against The Great (but freshly defeated) Satan after Satan departs in disgrace from the battlefield that he chose. I suspect that "home to the wife and kids" ain't the answer. I suggest that the answer is evident from an assessment of the demographics and future of Europe, given its rapid and steady transformation toward a majority-Islam fortress (this coupled with the negative birth rate among the Europeans in every European nation and the expansion of Islam and the steady disappearance of Christianity and Judaism) and its relentless economic deterioration and dependency upon Islamic and other immigrant labor. (America's numbers trend the same way.)
Check Michelle Phillips's book "Londonistan" or Mark Steyn's "America Alone" (or even George Weigel's "The Cube and the Cathedral," a distinctively Catholic but trenchant look at Europe) or a number of others for the details. The story is unmistakable. No matter what anyones view of this matter, every analysis from whatever vantage must account for the supervening fact of geopolitics in 2006: the United States can quit the battlefield in Iraq but cannot quit the battle with Islamo-fascism. Hence the question: How, where, and when to fight the battle given this present posture of defeat and withdrawal?
