America's Fatal Weakness
Canadian Press ^ | December 11, 2006 | JB Williams

Posted on 12/11/2006 6:34:25 AM PST by PlainOleAmerican

Terrorists abroad have spent decades preparing for war against the west, studying American culture, identifying all of the cracks in the mortar, all of the weak links in our chain of command and the soft spots in our defenses that make the worlds last remaining super-power a vulnerable target for any terrorists willing to die for the cause.

In retrospect, America's weaknesses were more obvious to others than most Americans thought.

"America and the western world have but two choices in this war, whether in Iraq, Afghanistan, Europe or America. We must crush the will of Islamic Terrorism world-wide, or allow ourselves to become consumed by it. There is no other option… That's the lesson too many still hope to ignore."

Take Saudi oil away from the Arabs. Worldwide terrorism is an unintended consequence of $$$ flowing into an ancient culture.

The same people who comment on articles before reading them, voted socialists into power thinking they were just Democrats...

WELL DONE!

This is what I have been saying here for years, and so has everyone who has any notion of the history of Islam. The Saracens must suffer a level of destruction so great that they are convinced that Allah does not will that Islam shall prevail in this generation. Then after utterly destroying Teheran and selected other bastions of the paynim, their countries should be occupied, all mosques and symbols of Islam destroyed, and the populations forcibly converted to Christianity- Christianity because that is the religion with which we haver some experience. Ultimately it is Islam which must be destroyed. Mere destruction of the cities and the works of Islam will only put off another reckoning a couple of generations down the road. The people must be crushed and converted. The point of conversion is NOT actually to create more good Christians but to drastically shrink Islam. Christianity is the handy substitute.

"the worlds last remaining super-power a vulnerable target for any terrorists willing to die for the cause."

According to Rick Santorum, Glenn Beck, and others, this is the decisive factor!

Americans love their ideals, but not enough to do what's necessary to preserve them.

Our culture will not survive this fight.

We'll survive, but there is bound to be a hell of a lot more suffering before the people are willing to fight. 3000 dead is clearly not enough.
