Over at The Corner, Jim Talent has a terrific post on the Democrats’ willful blindness regarding the ongoing threat of Islamic terrorism:

It’s hard to overcome any problem in your life if you refuse to recognize essential elements of the problem; in fact, one of the first objects of psychotherapists is to get their patients to face the real issues that are disabling them. It’s even harder to win a war if you won’t permit yourself to recognize whom you’re fighting — and not only because, as a practical matter, you have to know your enemy to properly assess his plans and tactics

Mass Delusion

The Democrats’ reluctance to mention Islamic terrorism during their convention reminded me of a point I’ve been meaning to write about. A fair amount of time in this country is spent discussing whether, in order to fight the jihadists, we should name the enemy, and specifically whether we should be willing to admit that the enemy is Islamic. The answer in any sane world, is, of course, yes. Because the obvious reality is that the people attacking us and the Europeans, now seemingly every day, belong to a branch of Islam and are motivated by their version of Islam.
