What you PC types do not get is that it is Islam we are fighting not terrorists, terror is a tactic not an enemy, now your ancesstors would have known how to deal, and deal effectively with an Islamic enemy, but then they were men that knew how to make hard decsions and stick by them.
Also, the Irish analogy doesn't not work. (Comwell).
"Yes let's not fight, and let's not win, let's just go quietly into the night. "
Who said anything about not fighting? The war should be invisible. Silent hit squads taking out the players without mercy. Not set piece gas chambers for all muslims that would seemingly make you happy.
"The Irish analogy doesn't not work."
"It doesn't not work" - I'll presume you didn't mean the double negative and are trying to disagree with me. I can't see why it doesn't work. We still have thousands of Catholics in Ireland who know and condone who did the Omagh bombing - why doesn't the analogy work?
