Muslims are not prepared, because of their belief system, to live in what we consider the modern world. Our notions of freedom, liberty and democracy are not comprehendible to Muslims due to their belief system. They will fight for revenge, oppression and evil, but they will not fight and spill their own blood for their own freedom.
This fact alone means that US policy for Muslim nations should be one of destruction when our interests are threatened or attacked and that of containment otherwise.
In the case of current day Iraq our interests are threatened. It is a result of policy of wasting our national treasure on rebuilding an unready nation and more recently a policy disengagement and near surrender by the current Marxist occupant of the White House.
We should have a military presence in Iraq. One to contain situations like these, but also to project power in the region to protect our interests. We need not meddle in Iraqi's everyday lives, feel sorry for them, or try to make them into Westerners. We should however control them to the point that our interests are protected and are successful.
I believe it was Golda Meir who said that the conflicts would not end “until Muslims loved their own children more than they hated the Jews.”
Bush finally got the idea of how to deal with Islamic societies when he flipped Quadaffi (sp.?)and left him in power but on a leash. The goal in dealing with Islamic countries must be to establish and support rulers who will make sure their subhuman co-religionists don’t attack us or our allies. Once we have put such a thug in power, we should leave him alone to deal with his subjects as he deems appropriate. Eisenhower did this in Iran many years ago and it worked beautifully until Carter destroyed the whole thing by enabling the Islamists to take power.
>>While I do not condone the mass beheadings and killings and seeing such images completely disgusts me, I can only think that Muslims have a culture that is antithetical to ours and the west. They have a fundamental belief system that is completely different. I am not saying Muslims don’t have feelings, for instance, a Muslim mother would cry in sorrow over her child’s natural death. However, the same Muslim mother would send her child to be a suicide bomber and later cry in sorrow over her child’s death.

I agree with the majority of what you posted. I do not think we should have a military presence in Iraq. Their beliefs are 180 degrees out of sync with ours as you have stated. I will fight for Christianity, nothing else. I see muslims killing muslims and that’s fine with me. No different than communists killing communists.
