We are at War and They are The Enemy:
The "Global War On Terrorism" is a misnomer. We are not at war with "Terror". Terror is a tactic, and we don't make war with tactics. We are at war against Fundamentalist Islam. The dilemma is that if we admit this, then the other side has just won; for we will have become as intolerant as they are and our struggle will become fueled by hate.
The way I look at it is that war and conflict are a constant, they've been with us since Cain and Abel and it will not stop this side of the Second Coming. I make my living at it, what's that make me? I like to think I conduct myself with honor and that I'm about defending good and decent people against the evil that is out there.
"If the Arabs laid down their weapons, there would be peace tomorrow. If Israel lays down her weapons, there will be no more Israel." - Benjamin Netanyahu
The same applies to our operations, only difference is they can nuke two of our most important cities and there will still be a United States of America. They take out Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and its over, khalas.
OK - I gotta go . . . busy busy busy today . . . no rest for the wicked . . .

I'm sorry to say that in the British Isles, the vast majority of terrorist offences in the last 40 years have been committed by Irish paramilitaries.
ReplyDeleteSteve - well said - the 'wee troubles' had a very definitive and localized goal - they did NOT have the goal of world domination via the 13th caliph. Never mind of course the most egregious recent 'events' - like Drummer Rigby for instance.
ReplyDeleteBesides, whiskey already long since took away any likelihood of the Irish ruling the world ;-)

P., Most of those IRA related actions happened on Irish soil, and 2/3rds of those killed were native Irish rather than British settlers, often murdered outright by clandestine British units. Obviously, something about British behavior must have tweaked them enough to make them "more than annoyed", and judging from the almost hysterical resistance by the entire population of the native areas, there was a bit more to it than simple rowdyism. For a somewhat humorous British take on the problem vs the Muslim problem, I'd recommend .http://youtu.be/nwkEEqXT3uQ
ReplyDelete"The dilemma is that if we admit this, then the other side has just won; for we will have become as intolerant as they are and our struggle will become fueled by hate."
ReplyDeleteSean, I disagree with this statement. If we admit this we are taking the first step toward self-defense and to be effective the best defense is a good offence.
I draw your attention to Kipling's "Grave of the Hundred Head"

BTW Kipling was a Brother.
Sean,
DeleteRespectfully, and sadly, I agree with all of the words in chasmatic's post.
And, if I may, I would like to remind you of your own feature of the reputed, and disputed, action by JJ Pershing in Moro.
Perhaps it can be called "The Warriors Dilemma" but I do believe, sadly, that the ability and proven execution of overwhelming violence against individual and collective war lords can lead to some form of peace, progress and well being for a majority of peoples.
Kind Regards

The problem here is, the leftists can not see a pattern in this list. The only pattern a leftist can find is, all the victims deserved it.
ReplyDelete"We Americans are a nation of re-settled, rejected, vikings, saxons and "spear chucking" peeps from all over the world. We came here to be free. We love our fellow native Americans who were skilled with bows, arrows, hatchets, nature and dirty warfare. We worship everything from trees and thunder to Christ and Buddha and lottery tickets. We are "Strength Under Control". We are a clever people that can make a deadly weapon out of a beer bottle, explosives out of fertilizer and poison darts out of plants in our yards. Nobody on the face of the earth can out think us, over power us, out laugh us, out drink us and out BBQ us. " - pep talk from Islam Exposed! blog
