And the world sees us saying that we're caught up in a "global war on terror."
Where would we be if FDR in 1942 had declared a "war on Blitzkrieg?"
We are truly living in Orwellian times, caught up in a war that dare not speak its name. The mohammedans are fond of reminding us that "You have all the watches, but we have all the time."
If we don't disabuse ourselves of the foolish wish for Islam to be a "religion of peace," we will in the fullness of time and to our eternal regret learn that Islam means Submission.
By the time we learn to name our enemy, it will be too late.
You don't get it. As we go into one country like Iraq and wipe out the "religion of peace", there are like 6 bordering countries that see us go in there and try to exterminate all the sources of terrorism. Yes, we are trying to put out the fires that are out there, but by doing so we are damning ourselves many times over, each time we do this. Pretend you live in the middle east and all your life what you know is how the US has gone in and invaded country after country. You aren't going to be able to put this "fire" out. Every time you try, you are fanning the flames over the entire region. Once you're done there, it spreads to Africa, the Far East, Baltics, and so on. It just gets bigger as you try to go in and "exterminate" the sources of violence, because what the rest of those regions see is us going in there and constantly blowing stuff up. We are talking more than 20 years now just for the recent "wars". Our religious dogma is no better than theirs, but we are creating the entire reasons they attack us, because we constantly attack them. How does it stop? My point is this: Terrorist lives in building or cave, whatever. UAV strikes and takes them out. Everyone in the village or surrounding area sees that the US just wiped out some people. They may not have known they were terrorists or whatever, but you've just spread it from a few people to a bunch more. How do you stop this cycle?
