Call them Werewolves
|
|
<p>The blogosphere has shown some ability to change the terms and<br />
|
|
terminology of the terror-war debate in the U.S. It’s time for a bit<br />
|
|
of meme-hacking. Let’s see if we can displace terms like “insurgent”<br />
|
|
or “Saddam loyalist” with one that conveys the true depth of evil we<br />
|
|
are facing. I have a candidate to propose.</p>
|
|
<p>A little more than sixty years ago, the U.S. and its allies went to<br />
|
|
war another psychopathic, mass-murdering dictator — Adolf<br />
|
|
Hitler. In 1944, as the Third Reich was collapsing, the SS organized<br />
|
|
a Nazi resistance to commit assassinations, sabotage and guerrilla<br />
|
|
warfare behind Allied lines. The parallels in organization and<br />
|
|
tactics with Baathist-holdout activity in Iraq are <a href='http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1373/10_50/66157021/p1/article.jhtml'>very<br />
|
|
close</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>It is a matter of record from Saddam Hussein’s autobiography that<br />
|
|
he admired Hitler’s ruthless efficiency and sought to emulate it. We<br />
|
|
should revive for these remnant Baathist thugs the term, redolent of<br />
|
|
willful evil and darkness, that the Nazi resistance fighters used for<br />
|
|
themselves.</p>
|
|
<p>Call them <b>werewolves</b>. It’s what they deserve.</p>
