I disagree. Here's why. Almost all of the civilized countries have become toothless, and this is the result.
We continue to display lack of resolve by not even bothering to rebuild the WTC. It's pathetic.

"There is one dim hope....that moderate leaders of Arab nations can lead the charge against religous imperialism with courage and without fear."Dream on Mike.
I don't see any western countries with the will to act. I don't think at present you would see a nuclear response from the U.S. even if several American cities were destroyed tonight. Who do you blame? Who do you attack?
It should be our pre-announced, public policy to destroy certain muslim cities and 'holy' sites if WMD's are used against us. You would see much less support for the military arm of islam if the major players in the ME thought it was a credible threat.
With the unfortunate possibility of another 9/11 size attack on the CONUS, maybe we'll be justified in a Milosevic style ethnic cleansing....

That would be a revisionist accounting of what the Crusades were.
In reality however, the crusades were a defensive action, sent to RETAKE the holy lands, which were overrun by murderous Muhammadan hordes. Later they were defensive acts against murderous Muslim hordes which were trying to slaughter their way into Europe, which they nearly succeeded doing, slaughtering their way into then controlling most of Spain for a few hundred years.
Muslims were never innocent victims of anything in history. They were always murderous barbaric agressors.
Who walks quietly and carries a big stick.
not that there is anything wrong with that of cousrse....
Since the Christian side ultimately lost the Crusades, I think that reparations payments should begin immediately.
How much do you think the Muslims should end up owing us?

Sadly, at this time, this is very true.
I'm not completely certain that this is true, though at this time the overwhelming response required to utterly destroy the enemy's will to fight-on is not likely. Who do you blame? Who do you attack?
This is not as difficult as it sounds.
The followers of the pirate-polygamist-pedophile prophet are to blame.
And the targets for attack:
Even though there are Mohammetans in those places that do not support the worldwide jihad, there were Japanese and Germans who did not support their respective hegemonistic tyrannies.
But that didn't stop us from hitting them with everything we had.
And it shouldn't, either.

Let me ask you this...
Muslims were never innocent victims of anything in history. They were always murderous barbaric aggressors.
Back in the late 40s, early 50s... When the US/UN gave the Jews Israel. and the palestinians were herded out. Does this fit in the contrary to your statement?
Please do not think I am doubting you, I am asking. I have heard this from folks, and unfortunately my HS education did not cover it well enough for me to remember.
actually, after I hit post, I've been waiting to get banned for it...
It's still up in the air, but for the victory of God, of good over evil. But that could take thousands of years yet.
"No matter how quickly these primitives develop a nuclear weapon of their own, the minute they deliver one to a Western city and turn it into a radioactive crater, they will be annihilated, probably starting at places like Damascus, Tehran, Mecca, and Medina."
What makes you so sure?
Isn't it also possible we would determine the perps were not from a national entity, but were rogues from say Al Qaeda.
And we'd determine we needed allies like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to continue helping us fight?
And we would determine the present military was big enough for this world war. No draft.
And we'd determine no financial sacrifices. No taxes, no surcharges, no war bonds, etc.
In other words, it would be business as usual, just like since 9/11/2001.
Which is probably what cost the election in November.
Unfortunately, you are right. The west has lost it's faith, and with it, it's knowledge of history and it's will to fight. Only with a reversal of rebellion against our Christian faith will we be able to unite and fight the coming scourge. Otherwise the wrath will come just as it is predicted. We are protect by faith in Christ. Abandon it and we also abandon the divine protection it once gave us. We can't win this without faith because that isn't how God planned it. Armageddon is decreed, only faith holds it back.
then ban me too..... I have no regrets for feeling the way I feel.
Goin' out for more ammo tomorrow, Guns.
