Jihadis are driven by ideology. We’re good at dealing with them militarily. We haven’t been good at dealing with the ideology that drives them and creates them. We haven’t been willing even to admit that there is an ideology at the heart of this.
It takes willful blindness not to see that a guy like the major was a trainwreck waiting to happen, and that he had no business being in uniform.
To take it one step further, it takes willful blindness not to see that post-911, people who hold to the ideology that drives this kind of madness should not be allowed to immigrate into the United States.
And the religion needs to be wiped out. That is the only answer. But we’re afraid to even offend them. We keep sending troops back over and over again simply to attempt to stay even. If we’re not willing to use the power we have while we still have it, we’ll never win this “war”. It’s like a plague. Destroy it all or it will be back.
All of this has nothing to do with this creep in Ft. Hood except he nor his family nor his “brothers” would be on the face of this earth if we would do what we know we must do.
