I don't disagree with any of that. Zero tolerance is fine by me. No one should ever give in to the demands of terrorists. I've made that pretty clear. Not giving them what they want is the best way to solve the problem. But I don't believe that fighting them in Afghanistan will help at all.
You do realize bin Laden saw Reagan's withdrawal after the Marines barracks were bombed in Lebanon as a sign of weakness to be exploited? We need to crush them to a pulver. We have to be so relentless these people with lack oxygen. We need to overwhelm them... in Afghanistan. It's the shortest way to victory. The alternative is to turn over the **** hole to the terrorists and have another example of America walking away. That is fatally dangerous.
It just gives them more warped excuses to keep the attacks on the West coming. Many of the terrorists that have been active the past few years have never even been to Afghanistan. I've always supported this war, unlike the Iraq one, but I honestly don't even know what we're doing there anymore.
Warped excuses? We need to bash the warped out of them. Then they'll have fewer excuses.
We should be killing them and hunting them down without pause. The battle should be so relentless, they will become exhausted of the battle. It may take years, but there is not alternative. There is one solution. Military might... and when they say they have had enough, then perhaps we'll speak about putting down our arms.
The Mafia in both Sicily and Calabria is still a huge problem. The Russian Mafia is everywhere. Gangs are still wreaking havoc in many parts of the US. These are all much easier to identify and fight agressively than international Muslim terrorists, who are often hiding in plain sight.
Really? Easier to identify? Think again... and if they are easier to identify, why aren't Muslims turning them over en masse?
Still, we can't get rid of them and most often it's because the communities they operate in don't cooperate with the authorities for fear of brutal retaliation.
Then we give them what for... until they get the message they better start opening their mouths.
You think the Russians mobsters are barbarians? What Muslims do to each other is even worse.
I really don't give a **** what they do to each other... what they are doing to the west is repulsive. The mafia isn't bombing and trying to disrupt commerce. They rely on it... like parasites. Big difference... and yet... we still try to stop them.
There are no clear leaders. That's one of the problems. Islam doesn't have a central authority to speak for all. I think Islam in may ways is a very private and personal religion. The Imams stand as guides in some manner, but it seems to me that the interpretation of the Koran and the spiritual journey is largely left to the individual. It comes as no surprise that many fall prey to charismatic Imams and are led down a destructive path.
There are known radical idiots... that lead the idiots.
Private and personal? No... it's a religion of barbarism and fanaticism. That's how you get 16,000 plus terror attacks in 9-years.
And how do the idiots journeys lead down the destructive path? Someone leads them there. We should be picking off the idiots. Everywhere.
You don't know that and neither do I. Only she knows if she would go protest or not. I'm certainly not going to presume to know her mind.
I'll go there and make that call. There are masses of gutless or silenced Muslims that would protest against everything except the idiots propagating destructive behavior. They are fearful... and/or complicit.
The religion of peace... my ass.
