Winning a War
What does it take to win a war? Certain adversaries in the past reached a point where they new winning was unattainable and threw themselves at the mercies of the victor. The modern enemy, Islamists, will never see victory as unattainable. They believe they have the might of allah behind them and will continue to fight as long as this idea exists. Unfortunately you can quash an idea by being nice. This idea must be shown to be unrealistic and fatal. In our present situation, nothing less then total unconditional surrender can be considered a victory. The enemy has a glimmer of hope that is not seen by the rest of us. It is an imaginary hope that cannot be eliminated by truth and fact of circumstances. The enemy is willing to kill and die for this ideology. We must be willing to do the same.
The enemy must be made to see that we will pull no punches when it comes to their defeat. Sitting down at tables and talking works to their advantage and displays our unwillingness to fight. The time for talk has passed. The next time we should be talking with any of these people is when they are signing a surrender document and we have gained control over their countries. In regards to terror organizations there should never be a sit-down. They should be eradicated from existence.
Whether we like it or not, war has become necessary. This war should be fought relentlessly and tirelessly. We should be constantly on the attack and taking no quarters. If provided quarters, they will maintain their ideology and use our internal sense of compassion against us. If you don't believe this take a look at the Guantanamo Bay prison and see how it has sent "civil rights" lawyers and activists into a tizzy. Don't take prisoners, the enemy doesn't. They even kill those that sympathize with them. Ignore the propaganda coming out of these quarters and strike hard with our own.
Pay no attention to the United Nations. It is because of this worthless organization we are in our present situation. Islamists and their sympathizers now have say in the General Assembly and they have allies on the Security Council. The Mafia has more discipline and respect than the United Nations does. What they say has no bearing on attaining world peace. Their job is to rape that advanced nations to line their own pockets with money and awards. The accolades and praise they receive are self induced. Get my country out of this organization and get this organization out of my country.
With us or against us. It IS that simple. Despite the propagandistic rhetoric, the United States is not imperialistic. We will trade and do business with just about anybody. We are paying the price for this mindset now. We have dealt with despots in the past. we have propped up and supported despots. All to protect our nation's assets and interests. This has created dissent against us as being hypocritical when it comes to freedom and human rights. Now we are attempting to reverse this and are being called hypocrites on the other side. President Bush cannot be held accountable for the actions of his predecessors. He has chosen his own path and on the surface it appears to be one of righteous indignation against these despots and what they have created. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It will take a generation or two to bring it to fruition. Do we have the patience?
Meanwhile we should be fighting. We should be fighting hard. we didn't differentiate between the German citizen and the Nazis during WWI. Why are we doing it now? Had the media during WWI been the same media during Vietnam or now, we would have lost that war and the Nazis would still rule Europe. We have enemies within. Some don't even realize they are aiding and abetting the enemy. Some deny the fact. Others don't care. America is not the cause of the all of the world's woes. We are doing our best to fix them. If a man gives you a hundred dollars to pay your utility bill and you spend it on alcohol, it is not the donors fault you have no electricity. The American Government and the American people have been more charitable than any government or people on the planet. Our thanks is airplanes crashed into buildings and our citizens beheaded or blown up. The charity should stop now. No money to enemies. No money or aid to country's who support our enemies. Provide support to a terror group and receive no aid during your next catastrophe. The American people deserve better for their efforts.
Defeat the enemy and eliminate his will to fight. This is the object of warfare. Kill as many of them as possible. No matter how advanced our technology becomes, "innocents" will die. Weapons are made by people which are imperfect which means our weapons are imperfect. War can be broken down to individual battles, one man killing another man. As crass as this sounds, this is the truth. Our present war is one for freedom. If you won't fight for another man's freedom you don't deserve the freedom you have.
There are many who claim that if Al-Quaeda was marching down mainstreet America they would fight. I say poppycock! If they aren't willing to fight now then they won't fight then. Anyway, by then it will be too late. If you aren't willing to fight for your own freedom, see the last sentence of the previous paragraph.
Islam preaches convert or die. Liberty requires one to fight or die. Would you rather feel guilty for killing some "innocents" or would you rather live as a slave to Islam. You make the choice.
