I am not a hawk. I was against the war in Viet Nam, Kosovo, Somalia, etc., etc. This one has my whole hearted support.
Anyone who thinks these extremists are going to be placated by any means is misguided. Consider the following:
During WWII the most fanatical and furious fighters were the Imperial Japanese. Most noted for their willingness, and duty, to die for the emperor, for homeland and for honor, where it not for demonstration that genocide would be the only outcome of further resistance, we would still be engaged in combat with them.
Now, consider the militant factions of Islam. These people have sworn to Jihad, in a fight for Allah. Their commitment is not merely one of honor or protecting homeland, but one they have sworn to their god. Therefore, not are they only unafraid to perish, they crave it. They have pledged their very souls, and their time in an afterlife in paradise is at stake for each of them. As long as one lives, there is going to be terrorism, violence, unrest, incitement to riot, oppression of their own peoples and the absolute need for killing all Jews and all Americans, and if they get to take some US allies with them, so much the better.
This IS WWIII. We have under estimated these lunatics. They began drawing their plans long before the first airliner hit the first of the twin towers of the WTC. They live, work and attend school amongst us. They are infinitely patient. Once one has sworn to Allah that he will die in Islamic Jihad, he will. Period. Failure to do so is believed to be a threat to their afterlife.
And the infestation is world wide. People also have underestimiated their numbers. Officials, and which officials I do not know, put at 1% the number of all muslims who have sworn to undertake the destruction of infidels. Doesn't sound like alot, 1%. Until, that is, one considers that there are 1.2 BILLION muslims in the world. 1% of that number is 1,200,000. And their numbers are growing, not only by those who can be persuaded to adopt the radical view point, but by their children who are being indoctrinated to wage the wars of the future that many of us will not live to see.
This is NOT about oil, corporate greed, repression of their people (which they do with no help needed from the west), culture clash or religious intolerance. These people are going to do everything they can to kill westerners, including ALL Americans and their allies.
It is not hard to understand that if they can ignite the exchange of weaponry that will surely wipe all mankind off the map, it will still be a huge victory for them and their religious beliefs. All infidels will have been destroyed, and each of them will be in Allah's company.
The world had better wake up. The 1% is getting larger as their ranks swell. The recent exchange between Hezbollah and Israel is their latest attempt to the light the fuse of the world's destruction. They cannot be bargained with, bought off, persueded to de-intensify their commitment or mitigate their insane rhetoric. They are willing to sacfrice those innocents, amongst their own people, that they gladly put in harm's way, using them as shields and causing their deaths, which is more fuel for the global funeral pyre they are trying to ignite.
The fanatics, and those who support them, must all die. We don't have bullets flying over our heads or missles dropping into our backyards, yet. But we will. If we take further half measures, we will be in a close parallel to the way the world reacted to Hitler at Munich. That worked out well, now, didn't it?
I think some of those prognosticators of our past will be proven right. We'll see Orwell was right, but had the year wrong. Huxley's literary warning is in full swing with genetic engineering. The latter we are doing to ourselves. The threat of terrorism, unless handled now, with a decisive and complete victory, meaning the death of all radical Islamic extremists, our fear, which will not be irrational, and our need to feel protected will result in a gradual ebb of the privacy and constitutional rights that we all are very happy to take for granted. This to, shall be a victory for those who would rain destruction upon the whole of our planet.
Unfortunately, it may already be too late. But without an effort to eliminate this cancer infecting the human race, our fate is sealed, and there is some very nasty things in store for us.
So don your pink apparel, kiss Cindy Sheehan's rump, bash George Bush, melt in Hillary's aura, isolate Israel and throw them to the idealogical wolves of the mid-east, and remain in self-centered denial, right up to the end. Pacifism has had a time and a place. This is not it. The death and destruction will continue as long as we fail to eliminate, in its entirety, the recurring attacks of these inhuman monsters.
Half measures are not the answer. Put another way, if every time you poke your head out your front door and a guy waps you in the head with a 2x4, how many times are you going to look to see if he is still there?
