Clinton in DAVOS
According to Mr. Clinton, the gravest problems facing the world are Global Warming and inequality. The fact that he failed to mention Terrorism says more than anything else! It clearly demonstrates the Left's failure to grasp the nature of the struggle with which we are faced !
Western Civilization has struggled with Islam for a thousand years. This struggle has merely been on hold for the last 322 years, the previous battle taking place outside the walls of Vienna in 1683. But a generation of oil revenues flowing into Middle Eastern medieval Kingdoms has re-energized the march to achieve the medieval goal of converting the world to Islam by the sword! But the Left doesn't get it.
To the intellectual elitist Left, the idea of the resumption of a medieval religious war is too absurd for words! They can only cling to their Marxist economic causality: rich America, poor Middle East. And since we "haven't done enough about poverty, we deserve what we get ", (such as the attack on Sept 11, 2001). The distribution of the billions in oil revenues by these medieval Kingdoms is conveniently not addressed: it's always "America's fault!"
This is, of course, why Mr. Clinton believes the war is caused by inequality and did not address it. He is sadly mistaken, and he has failed to read what our enemies say.
