p> RIGHT CHOICES br> Re: Enemy Central’s Enemy of the Year : /p> p>Thank you for your eminently sensible choice of TBII as the Enemy of the Year. Forget the New York Times and the so-called Democratic Party, who may possibly recover in the same way the so-called Republican Party survived after 1939. The real enemy is the Enemy: the TBII and assorted well-armed clowns of similar dispositions. As Churchill remarked, “We of the allied forces have met a common enemy, and we will crush the Nazi renegade.” Well, the Islamist terrorists were allies of the Nazis, so we may consider the present engagement as a delayed mop-up operation — with the tentative approval of the Republicans and the disapprobation of the Democrats and the mealy New York Times . Who cares? We know the enemy. Death to the TBII, and screw their witless Western enablers, the latter of whom inadvertently confirm the strength of the democratic experiment. br> — John R.

While I can understand the point of view of the EOY selection board, I can’t quite agree with it.

True, the Islamofascists in Iraq and elsewhere hate us, hate what we stand for, hate what we believe, hate those who agree with us, and hate what we may be able to do in the Middle East and elsewhere (as in stop or diminish 1400 years of strife, tribal and clan warfare, and other wonderful “attributes” found there.)
