Why are all the opinion columns on the Middle East/ Islam? I would think with all the military preparations that Iran is doing, that the fear of their nuclear capabilities should be at the forefront. Instead, we have columns on how Israel can make the doomed Peace Talks work, or we can read on how the West is becoming increasingly anti-Muslim.
Never mind the enemy at our door, who, at the very least, will be able to create nuclear weapons by the end of this year. Never mind the threats and war drills that the enemy is showing the world publicly, daring us to attack him. No, that's not important. What is important is how the doomed peace talks will fair, or whether Muslims in the US are under attack for fears that they may turn us into another Islamisized Western country. A place where free speech will have no place. Where non-Muslims and women are considered secondary citizens. No, do not fear the Muslim, instead watch the peace talks, it will distract you from the bad thoughts.
This society has a new ideology: the "there is nothing to fear" ideology. If you have a fear, we will do all in our power to silence it through our columns. Iran running war drills won't be mentioned. Neither will it's ability to create a nuclear bomb, that it has threatened to use. Instead, let's talk about easier things, like the Peace Process or how the West is becoming increasingly anti-Muslim ("so what do you think about the mosque at ground zero?").
We need to make heard the voice, that as Americans, though we have just come out of a very tiring war, and are actually still occupied with another, (both of which I may point out are mainly Muslim) it is time to strike Iran, before it is ready to strike us.
(I must note: right after I wrote this post, I found an article that did bring up Iran and the fact that we should attack it, though it was mostly a side point. The title certainly didn't come close to mentioning it. You can read it here if you wish)
