Why We Write

Tony Blankley of Real Clear Politics laments that the world just doesn't understand the Islamist threat. Until they do, we will be unable to mount an effective effort to defeat it. He writes:

Until the American and European publics have become convinced of the present danger to them, we will continue to stumble, take half measures and fail to adequately defend ourselves. Before action, must come belief; before belief must come understanding; before understanding must come education and debate. In the beginning was the word. It is time to begin.

The conservative blogosphere understands the problem. It's why we write.
