I stand in horrified astonishment that after 9/11, there are still some people who think that we can reason with these people ... I don't believe there's a ghost of a chance and I think we're in for a very long haul ...
I shudder to think how bad it will get before America really wakes up to what this problem is ... it's huge ... and it does not bode well for the future given their deeds ...
Better men than I are risking life and limb to preserve freedom in God forsaken third world cesspools. At the same time, people who are not fit to lick my boots are trying to tear The Republic apart for self serving reasons.
Correct. We are heading toward a civil war.
There is one upside to this, but it is cold comfort. We (meaning the "kill the terrorists" crowd) win no matter what. If we keep prosecuting the war properly, that's a win. If we take the John F. Kerry law enforcement/please France approach, then someday soon Al-Qaeda does something huge, maybe even something that costs us a whole city. Then, people like Mike Berg will be lucky if they don't have mobs show up at their house to lynch them, Sedition and treason will finally be enforced, we will go to Plan C (every terrorist in a cell or cemetary) and do whatever it takes for as long as it takes.
The Soviet union could have killed us all. China could kill most of us and may someday be able to kill us all. Al-Qaeda probably couldn't even kill a tenth of us no matter how hard they tried. So the question is not whether we will go after these people, but how many of us have to die before we will realize that it is not optional.
