What is it about the Left in this country that makes them want to get cozy with bullies in the world? They act like the kids in school who gladly swapped their lunch money for one more day without an ass whupping. People who are blind to the fact that something far worse than an ass beating is taking place as they are giving up their lunch money. They are losing their freedom.
They might try to argue that they are trying to preserve their freedom by appeasing the bullies of the world, but they can’t seem to step back away from the situation far enough to see that the very act of appeasement is in fact a relinquishment of our sovereignty. When we appease a bully, we are giving him the power to control our life, to dictate policy, and to determine our future.
Bullies are all bluff and bluster. If they can convince one kid on the playground that they will receive a beating if they don’t give in to the bully’s demands, the bully has won. If on the other hand, the bully is challenged when a demand is made, they have lost. President Reagan seemed to understand this intuitively and acted accordingly. He was aware that there was no real substance to the threats of the Soviets.
The Soviets could not possibly keep up with the spending that Reagan was talking about, and if the plans for SDI came to fruition, their entire stockpile of nuclear weapons would be useless against us. We didn’t make threats, we made promises, and historically our promises were kept. Capitalism and a free market wins the Cold War. Yea us!
In our current world of political correctness, we are afraid to be seen as bullies, even by the bullies of the world. We tremble in fear of world opinion and let that fear dictate our policies. We have allowed a handful of extremists to challenge our sovereignty and get away with it. In short, we have allowed the bully to take our lunch money. I for one, want it back!
We have allowed a group of barbaric nomads to challenge us, to sit back in caves and taunt us and our way of life. We have allowed them to use our media, our sense of fair play, and our compassion against us. Meanwhile, they use commercial airplanes full of civilians to destroy our cities and to kill our people. We have allowed them to win. We call them terrorists and the fact that we live in fear gives them the victory. We can change that.
Surgery is not pretty. Anytime a surgeon cuts someone open, for any reason, there is collateral damage. Scar tissue, bruising, loss of blood, there are a myriad of things that happen when a surgeon operates. The purpose of the surgery is not to create collateral damage, but to cut out the diseased tissue, or to repair some defect, but the collateral damage is there as well.
War, like surgery is not pretty either. There will be collateral damage, people will die, others will be hurt, many will lose their homes and property. That is the way war has always been. That is part of what war is, you cannot separate the collateral damage from the intentional damage. All you can do is to try to minimize the collateral while maximizing the intentional.
Our enemy takes a very long look at history. In doing so, they are perfectly happy to sit back and just sting us like some sort of insect. It is time for us to let go with some roach bombs in Iraq, and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, when you set off the roach bomb, the people in the house may suffer ill effects of trying to rid them of the roaches. But the roaches carry disease and they consume and destroy the resources of the household, they must be gotten rid of.
Liberals want to know why we can’t live with these extremists. Why can’t we all just get along? It’s not Osama’s fault that he is a terrorist, it is our fault for not providing for him a nurturing environment in which to spend his youth. It is our fault, and we brought the events of 9/11/01 down upon ourselves by having more than the other people of the world. Naturally they are jealous and rightfully so. There should be no difference between the haves and have-nots in the world.
When our enemy hears such drivel, they have to hold onto their turbans they are laughing so hard. Their plans are working. Their enemy is fighting itself, they can sit back and just keep things stirred up while making plans for a new strike. We need to stop this and get on with the business of killing our enemy. Yes, killing him. That is what his intentions are for us, and if we do not utterly destroy him, that is what he will end up accomplishing.
We need to stop pussyfooting around with these barbarians, and start destroying them. Destroy their will to fight. If we cannot do that, we must totally destroy them. They are very aware of our limitations, the self imposed rules that we play war with. They do not have a concept of our capabilities. We need to become as ruthless as they are, anytime a rule is written that limits what we can or cannot do in war, we are tying our hands. We cannot have our soldiers fighting in fetters.
These extremists have declared total war on us, and have vowed to destroy us and our society. That is their announced game plan. We can believe it or not, but the thing is, if that is what they have declared, we need to act in accordance with their declaration, and destroy them. They must go in fear of the United States, they must tremble at the thought of American forces coming after them. In short, we must terrorize the terrorists.
When we clear a town of terrorists, decapitate them and pile their skulls on the side of the road leading into the town. We are fighting with an enemy that is not afraid to die, but there are things that they fear. We should be using the things our enemy fears against them. How about something simple, taking our ammunition and changing it from full metal jacket to jacketed hollow points, with the hollow filled with gel-caps of pork fat. Let these extremists know, that if they are shot and killed by one of our troops, the last thing they touch before they die is fat from an unclean animal. We have to use their fears against them.
When they are captured, let’s worry less about their treatment and more about their cooperation. They wear no uniform, they are working to kill us, any privileges they get should be earned. No books, no prayer rugs, no special diets, and no media coverage. They should not be able to get out until hostilities have ceased, if then. We need to remember that these are the people, bullies if you will, who kidnap civilians then torture and murder them. These are the same people who take planes and passengers and crash them into skyscrapers. They deserve nothing, and I would prefer it if that was what they received.
