Rumsfeld said violent extremism is a danger faced as much in Europe as in the United States, and said Islamic militants are on the move and have to be checked.Which clearly can't be allowed to happen: our goal should instead be to spread human rights globally. But why bother with any other measure when spreading maps is apparently enough to put the entire world at risk? Surely we can accomplish just as much with a targeted counterattack:
"They seek to take over governments from North Africa to Southeast Asia and to re-establish a caliphate they hope, one day, will include every continent," he said. "They have designed and distributed a map where national borders are erased and replaced by a global extremist Islamic empire."
Of course, considering that Canadian provinces are talking about refining uranium and encouraging the use of nuclear power, I suppose the promulgation of the above map should put Canada at the top of Rumsfeld's hit list. But that's a small price to pay to show that we're dedicated to ensuring that our values prevail in the culture war that Bushco has done so much to inflame.
