Takimag Agrees With America's Satanic Enemy

There are few things less sufferable to me than someone, in the middle of an ongoing war, adopting the enemy's position and voicing its arguments. Justin Raimondo does just that in TAKIMAG. He starts well, painting Bin Lades as the Satan:

Osama bin Laden ... is truly scary. Not because he threatens us with death and destruction, though he does. Not because he vows that the 9/11 attacks were just the beginning, though this is strongly implied. And not because he’s the kind of guy who gives evil a bad name... You can almost hear an organ groaning in the background and smell a whiff of sulfur. Halloween comes early this year. His Satanic Majesty continues...

but ends by agreeing with him:

...time is on his side. We have never taken bin Laden and al-Qaeda all that seriously, and that, ultimately, will be our undoing. In him we face an unrelenting and devilishly intelligent enemy, one who knows our weaknesses and leverages them to his advantage.

The only way to defeat bin Laden is to change our foreign policy—not by putting lipstick on a pig and murmuring sweet nothings in the ear of the Muslim world, as Obama did in Cairo, but by doing a complete about-face and abandoning our dreams of empire. Short of that, bin Laden’s satanic self-confidence, I’m sad to say, is fully justified.

When in a war, one side starts parroting the enemy's propaganda, that side is doomed to defeat. Defeatism in war is sabotage, and if America wants to win, its Raimondos should not be published.
