So back in the home office, in Moscow, they must be chortling that
the President of the United States would establish a moral equivalency
between the first democracy--the first constitutional democracy ever
created on Earth--and a thug who is presiding over essentially a
kleptocratic, authoritarian regime in Russia, a man who has said that
the collapse of the Soviet Union was the single greatest catastrophe of
the 20th century. So we have that to deal with. Meantime, instead of taking on the real authoritarians on Earth, the
President summons up all of his courage with Steve Bannon, and they
impose a ban on people coming to America from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan,
Somalia, Syria, and Yemen; and they invoke 9/11 several times in the
course of establishing this unprecedented refugee ban. The only problem
is that the terrorist hijackers who came to attack
the country on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab
Emirates. The vast majority of them came from Saudi Arabia, which is
the stronghold and the organizing center of Wahhabism, fundamentalism,
radical Islamic terrorism on Earth which has been promoting and
disseminating militant Islamist ideology all over the world.
