A wake-up call for Europe; the Netherlands hears it clearly, will France?

Netherlands braces for 'jihad' - The Washington Times: World - November 06, 2004:
" 'I know definitely that you, Oh America, will go down. I know definitely that you, Oh Europe, will go down. I know definitely that you, Oh Netherlands, will go down. I know definitely that you, Oh Hirsi Ali, will go down,' it [the letter pinned to the body of slain filmmaker Theo van Gogh by his assassins] said.
" Deputy Prime Minister Gerrit Zalm agreed with comments by other politicians who called Mr. van Gogh's slaying a declaration of Islamic jihad, or 'holy war.'
" 'We are not going to tolerate this. We are going to ratchet up the fight against this sort of terrorism,' he said. 'The increase in radicalization is worse than we had thought.'"

It is now connect the dots time in Europe. Here are few recent ones:
The murderers of Theo van Gogh have declared war on, not only his collaborator on the film Subjection (she is a former Muslim from Africa and a member of the Dutch parliament), but also on America, the Netherlands and Europe in general.
Those same murderers are connected to Casablanca bombing last year.
Terrorists in Iraq, in addition to kidnappings and murders of various Americans, Brits, Poles and Japanese, have targeted an Irish-born relief worker who has lived peacably in their country for decades.
The Spanish authorities, even though the new government has complied with the demand of the Madrid train bombers to leave Iraq, have uncovered a new plot for an Islamofascist terrorist strike in Spain.

The picture should be getting clearer. Either you fight, which at least marginally improves your chance for survival; or you surrender, in which case you will be still be attacked at leisure after the allies you could have relied on are no longer able to succor you. Of course, the French may prefer a third way. The way of Marshal Petain and the Waffen SS. A total embrace of the enemy. What will it by Mr. Chirac?
