"We must prepare to rule the world."
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran

"We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization."
Hassan Abbassi,
Top advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei

Do you sometimes think Western Civilization has its head in the sand... or gone mad?

I mean, what part of "rule the world" don't European and American leaders understand?

Which nuance of "the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization" escapes the profound intellect of liberal elites?

Most of all, how is it possible these deep-in-denial defeatists can't (or won't) see the profound danger of messianic, medieval minds in possession of the most horrific weapons on earth?

It's enough to make you despair -- or think that maybe the appeasement crowd is right: The problems we face today: terror attacks at home, abroad and in the sky -- bitter Muslim hatred -- unrelenting media bias against the U.S. and Israel -- record-high oil and gasoline prices -- are just too difficult to confront.

DON'T BELIEVE IT! It wasn't so long ago that one man stood tall and triumphed over dangers virtually identical to those challenging America today.

Many have forgotten and, tragically -- many more have NEVER been taught -- that Ronald Wilson Reagan became President in a global crisis almost identical to today's troubles.

And yet, in the teeth of pervasive defeatism and savage personal criticism from the Left and the global media, Reagan was able to accomplish miracles...

A fanatical Iranian leader cried "Uncle" -- 20 minutes after Reagan took office. (Why they surrendered is a lesson many Western leaders have utterly forgotten today.)

The back of a decade-long energy crisis was broken -- with one stroke of Reagan's pen. (The same, common-sense approach would work again.)

An aggressive nuclear enemy was defeated -- by Reagan's unshakable belief in American strength and exceptionalism. (This belief is under attack today, but the tide can be reversed.)

How Reagan achieved his great victories are the forgotten lessons America needs today.

American needs another Ronald Reagan in 2008!
