New Tactic for Steeling American Resolve

In all of the commentary generated by the occasion of the fifth anniversary of 9/11, one tidbit in particular stuck out, not because it is the most weighty concern but because it has long been, at least to me, the biggest head-scratcher. Who else but Mark Steyn to nail it (scroll down):

"In theory, if you’d wanted to construct an enemy least likely to appeal to the progressive Left, wife-beating gay-bashing theocrats would surely be it. But Islamism turned out to be the ne plus ultra of multiculti diversity-celebration — for what more demonstrates the boundlessness of one’s “tolerance” than by tolerating the intolerant."

Yes, truly puzzling. Well OK, not really. So let's steal a beat from certain quarters and advocate adaptation of tactics to match the opposition's methods and approach. GWOT hawks should henceforth pitch for national resolve in this struggle by pointing out that Islamic radicals seek to restrict a woman's right to choose, ban stem cell research, and do away with labor and environmental standards. Couched in that manner, we might start hearing cries of "nuke 'em all" from the leftosphere.
