Fabrizio: Non Compos Mentis

Now that the new year is officially upon us, the time for reflection is over and it behooves us to look ahead. Normally, human nature bids us to do this with hope in our hearts, but to no one's surprise, 2009 finds us in a position where international events make it nearly impossible to do so. To put it mildly, the world has gone mad.

In a sane world, one faced with a religious cult that has been responsible for countless incidents of brutality and monstrous assaults on innocent life all over the world, we might see that world unite to rid itself of those responsible for these atrocities. As in WWII or the Gulf War, the civilized nations would put aside their differences and come together in the name of decency to defend the decent.

We're such a nation of numbers -- statistics, polls, odds, majorities, scores -- it makes it easy for Israel's detractors to push the "disproportional response" button.

So many Americans nod, staring blankly at the sight of bombed houses, and condemn the wrong side.

We keep being told "elections have consequences," and that applies to the votes that put Hamas in charge of Gaza.

...and their silence condones the violence! Islam IS NOT a religeon of peace.

Excellent article that accurately reflects my own feelings exactly. We truly do live in a world turned upside down, and world gone mad.

Somewhere, sometime in the last several decades the world went through an axis or polar change where good became evil, evil became good, madness became wisdom, wisdom became madness, right became wrong, wrong became right, what was unacceptable became embraced, and what was acceptable became condemned and hated.

I don’t understand it unless this madness affects a good portion of the entire human race, where murderous scum like Hamas can be portrayed as victims and heroes, while Israelis only trying to defend themselves from the murderous scum, as any nation would do, becomes the villains and murderers.

Even in our own country the criminals get more sympathy, support, and rights than the victims.

In a world gone made, what happens to the sane ones who are left?
