Apocolypse Now

"But one thing is quite the same, and that is his thought: without victory, there is no survival. I believe that we are actually fighting for the survival of the Western world of the Enlightenment, of the protection of human rights, and of respect for all of humankind. If those ideals are sometimes violated by the West--and there is no doubt whatsoever that they are--these are nothing as to what would occur if jihadist Islamicists were triumphant."

From the blog neo-neocon. This perfectly captures the paranoid worldview of neoconservatism. The Enlightened West is in danger? And then there is always the comparision of Nazism and Hitlter to Al-Qaeda. It is a disgrace and insult (as one of Jewish descent) to compare wayward Saudis hoping to meet Allah with the death march of Nazism. I'm at my wits end with this tired comparison.
