At Breath of the Beast: Is There Such a Thing as Islamofascism?
...It all reminds me of the scene in the movie Goldfinger in which, James Bond is tied to the table and the laser beam is working its way through the steel deck of the table and heading straight for his groin. Bond in an uncharacteristic nervous moment looked up at the villain and said.†I won’t talk†Goldfinger says, “Don’tâ€. Bond then asks, “Well what do you expect me to do?†To which Goldfinger smiles and says, “I expect you to die Mr. Bond†and leaves.
There should be no reason for anyone in the west to have to ask Al Qeada, Hamas or Hizbolla, “What do you expect of us? The answer will be the same. They would like to distract us by encouraging us to worry about why they hate us- If we want to survive we have to focus on what we can do to thwart their intentions...
[Update: Reader KirkR notes that the Bond quote above isn't quite right. Makes the point, though.]
