West proposes radically new U.S. policy on Islam

Boy, does Diana West get it. She puts into President Bush’s mouth a speech radically reformulating his Islam policy in a manner that so far (the article is part one of two) exactly matches VFR’s approach. Muslim democratization (Bush explains in West’s speech) empowers sharia and jihad. Therefore we must cease attempting to spread democracy to the Islamic world and instead prevent the spread of Islam to our world. Whoo-ee! As I’ve said a hundred times, we do not have the power to change Islam. But we do have the power to defend ourselves from Islam. I look forward to part II.
