(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH

Armed & Dangerous persists in calling for Holy War against all Islam. At least he admits a "cultural subversion" prong to his tripartite approach -- which implies that he's not all about slaughtering or forcibly converting the Ay-rabs -- though he undervalues this reasonable alternative immensely.
Based on recent historical evidence, Britney Spears butt-naked and heavily amplified on the back of an aircraft carrier would do more to pacify the blighters than any number of Christian shock-troops. I would also utilize recreational drugs and bootleg CDs -- not forcibly, as A&D implies, but in the gentle, devious manner used successfully on the former Soviet Union (an "evil empire," we were once told, at least as formidable as the "evil religion" of which A&D speaks), the Amish, and America itself.
Of course, for this to work in the Islamic world, we would have to use some means of access other than armed invasion.
