How many times does America and the rest of the non-Muslim world have to suffer through the terrorism and bullying by Islamist extremists followed by the failure of America to hold them accountable before we get fed up and stop it? Apparently we have not reached that limit yet, or either we have not learned the lesson that every child understood from the time they were old enough to encounter bullying!
Ask a child how bullies are stopped. They know the answers! They will tell you that the only three things that stop a bully are if the bully's parents intervene, which usually never happens, if the bully gets intimidated and forced to stop by somebody that the bully knows can beat them up, which is not that common, or if the person being bullied stands up to the bully and fights with him. Sometimes the bully is all bluff and will back down, but usually the fight is hard and ugly, and even if the bully wins, he is usually going to leave that person that stood up to him alone and find somebody else that he can intimidate.
Islamist extremists are bullies and they are fanatics. Bullies are cowards; they pick on those weaker than them. The Islamist extremists are cowards; they will not fight in the open, so they pick on innocent, unknowing, vulnerable individuals and terrorize them, then that supposedly sends a message to the rest of the world that if it does not conform to the will of the bullies, others will suffer. That is just gutless, cowardly bullying. For at least forty years, America and the rest of the world that is the target of the extremists have tried to surgically attack the extremists and leave the "peace-loving" rest of the Muslim world alone. That strategy, my friends, has been an abysmal failure, as was illustrated once again this week by the attack and murder of U.S. diplomats in Libya and Egypt supposedly because of an independent film released in America making fun of the Muslim's supposed prophet Mohammed.
But the extremist Islamist are also fanatics, so the rules they play under are different in one serious way. They will die for their cause, or at least will convince some other crazy fanatic that it is glorious to die fighting infidels and get them to blow themselves up while killing innocent victims. This type of fanatical bully must be dealt with differently; the only ways to stop these crazies is to kill them before they kill you, or to make it so painful for their non-fanatical Islamist brothers that they force the crazy fanatics to stop. Talk will not work with a fanatic until the pain is so great that they have no other choice but to stop. After forty-plus years of trying to use reason, kindness, bribery, and limited kick-butt techniques, I personally think it is time to stop pussy-footing around with these crazies and get about the business of putting some serious hurt on ALL of them until either they are all dead, or their peaceful Muslim brothers and sisters make them stop.
So, instead of getting a belly-full and finally deciding to stand up and make the hard decision that will eventually and finally put an end to these bullies and cowards killing Americans, what does our President do? Condemns the person releasing the film, then says we will find those who committed the murders and bring them to justice. If I am one of those Muslim extremists, I am probably laughing my rear off right now. Yeah, it only took eleven years to find Bin Laden, so we really expect the Libyans to hand over these extremists, or really even help in tracking them down and handing them over?
Yeah, just like I believe the Federal Government is going to pay for the added costs of Obamacare by eliminating waste and fraud in Medicare! NOT!!!
America is going to continue to be the target of bullying and terrorism at the tremendous and unnecessary costs of American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars because America does not have the stomach or the will to do what is necessary to stop it. To stop terrorism, there is only one way to do it: Wipe it out!
These bullies are no different than the Nazi extremists or the Japanese extremists of World War II. They started small and kept growing through intimidation and thuggery until Great Britain and our eventual allies saw that there was no hope for a diplomatic solution and that the Nazis and Japanese could not be trusted to adhere to any promises or treaties they signed. The same situation exists here, and American and its allies went to war full tilt to stop it. That is what is going to have to happen to stop the Arabs; all out war against the Arabs.
To stop terrorism, America is going to have to reinstate the draft and build up our military to World War II levels, along with our war production effort. We are then going to have to literally overthrow every Arab government that has ever contributed even $1.00 to the terrorism efforts of groups like Hezbollah or The Muslim brotherhood, starting with Egypt, Syria, Iran, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, the Sudan, Iraq, and even Cuba.
In World War II, the generals and the President understood that not only did the combatants have to be defeated, but the will of the citizenry of those nations warring against us had to be broken to the point that the citizenry would revolt and lose their will to continue the war effort. That same principle here must be applied. Most Muslims are content to stand by and do nothing to stop their extremist brothers and sisters from committing acts of terrorism because they do not suffer because of the extremists acts of terrorism. As long as that is the case, nothing will change. To kill a snake one must cut off its head, or it can still bite even after it is dead. Same thing happens with terrorist organizations. We killed Bin Ladin, but the acts of terrorism still go on because the cancer of terrorism still lingers in the hearts of extremists. We are going to have to kill them all.
America's efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq were doomed because we lost our will to stay the course, and because we did not have sufficient forces to go through those countries like we did in World War II as we went through Europe; house to house, mountain to mountain until the leaders and the forces surrendered. That is why America must have a military force of sufficient size and power, along with its allies, to do the total job, or we will end up like we are now in Iraq and Afghanistan, ten years of fighting later with no real security.
Too bad our government has lost its will to defend American lives and to make the price of taking American lives by our enemies too small to instill and hesitation in our enemies to continue their efforts against us. Our soldiers can do the job, and our allies will support us if we lead, but without America's leadership, the rest of the world will continue to wander about aimlessly, suffering through the occasional terrorist attack with a sense of inevitability that is instilled from the lack of leadership by the governments of the world. Cowards suffer a lifetime of abuse, and that is what America's leadership has become, a bunch of whimpering cowards who talk big, but are gutless to do what it takes to really secure America's or the world's safety and prosperity. Teddy Roosevelt said it quite succintly; "...Speak softly, but carry a big stick!". We speak loudly from the platform, but cower away from really standing tall against terrorism like the cowards from a grade-school bully. Sad...really sad.
