Iraq: What's at stake?

A reader sent the following link to an article by an Englishman and resident of London: Andrew Roberts "At stake in the Iraq war: survival of a way of life" (The Christian Science Monitor, July 12, 2007). The subtitle reads: "Unless the English-speaking peoples step up, they'll lose the great struggle against radical, totalitarian Islam." It recalls for me the outlook of Harry Crocker III in some of his Crisis Magazine articles. Crocker would doubtless be branded a "neocon" by some. Roberts is not a Catholic or even discernably Christian. But they share a common affection for Western tradition in some sense. See what you think.
