A SOBERING PREDICTION from Victor Davis Hanson:

Most see us in a pause, or that the war has gone cold. While we have had successes, I think the next wave will crash soon, and we will be at it again. One cannot read daily of gassers, bombers, and killers arrested hourly worldwide and not imagine that some will not get through. And when they do, there will be a few bold and honest folk who will say, “Who trained them? Who gave them sanctuary? Who wanted them to succeed? Who sent them money” And the answers to all that will inevitably be Iran, Syria, elements in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

I’m afraid he’s right. I don’t know if this is a sign that it’s starting: “Two passenger aircraft have crashed within minutes of each other in Russia and a bomb has exploded on a street in Moscow.” But it wouldn’t shock me if it were.
