Let Them Kill Each Other

I know, I know, the recent ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) gains have everyone scared. No doubt, the Islamophilic administration will want to step in, and save Islam from itself once again. Let me advocate a course of action that will make sense to all sides in America; the left and right; from militarists to pacifists: Let the Muslims kill each other.

After the administration blundered on Benghazi, on the Arab Spring, and Syria, Heaven itself has afforded it one last chance to set itself right. It is almost impossible for the administration to screw it up. All it has to do is nothing.

Yes, Nothing!

ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant) is presently a large group of thugs with guns. They have no navy, no air force, except for a few captured helicopters, which they will soon break. The only ones they can threaten are their fellow Muslims. If they take over Iraq, who cares? They will soon reduce the Levant to the seventh century.

And this is a problem to us? OK, oil prices may spike for a while, but they are going to need to sell their oil because they’ve got nothing else to produce for export and can’t produce any of the fruits of modern industry. Meanwhile, the high prices will encourage domestic drilling and production of our nearly boundless reserves held in shale deposits, to the point where we will become a major oil exporter ourselves.

That is anti-American propaganda.

LMAO.

[Kozak]

If they keep it in the family so to speak I would not really have a problem.
They won’t. It will spill over into the West.

[Olog-hai]

That’s the kind of garbage that comes out of Stormfront.

[Netz]

Do they ever “settle down” or does that mean 328 murders, 785 rapes and 2,567 building burned to the ground instead of higher numbers?

[Olog-hai]

There is nothing non-imperial about Islam. Just have to see the history of those that fought the Ottomans.

[Alberta's Child]

What — a focus on America’s interests first?

[Olog-hai]

Call it switching targets. That happens when they find leadership they regard as satisfying.

Remember that Khomeini was all about downplaying Sunni-Shi’a differences during his lifetime.

[Olog-hai]

I notice you don’t use the term “USA”.

Abandoning allies is not in the USA’s best interest, nor does it exemplify any honorable character. But under Obama, that is generally what has happened, and here you are cheering it on.

As Solzhenitsyn pointed out to us, “Must one point out that from ancient times, a decline in courage has been considered the first symptom of the end?” That agrees with George Washington’s assertion that the USA must “at all times be ready for war”.

[Zathras]

Israel and ‘73 war.
Only Nixon re-arming Israel kept them from falling.

[Netz]

I am glad to see you're calm, cool and collect in this, the final weeks of US influence in the Middle East. The dodo is hitting the fan and this is only the beginning. Once the Islamofacists succeed, they encourage the Paleostinians to act as they are doing right now.

[Netz]

Restore employment to Detroit, sens them over to fight the ISIS folks, the Muzzies don't stand a chance. We will have them rapping after 3 days of battles...

HTML eats excess white-space. If you type two or more spaces in a row between words HTML will reduce all of the spaces and tabs to a single space or tab. Carriage Returns (the Enter key) won't do you any good either. Without special care it is easy to end up with a wall of unreadable text. It's quite cruel. If you want white-space beyond a single space you need to insert it explicitly by typing <br> or <p> for a CRLF and a paragraph, respectively.

Break <br> works like you expect Enter (or Carriage Return) to work. It gets you a single LFCR (Line Feed Carriage Return, just like an ancient typewriter). Two styles of break are in use, the preferred version (used in HTML 5) <br /> which contains its own closing tag. Paragraph <p> makes what follows into a paragraph set off by linefeeds. Neither <p> or <br> requires closing tag. The browser software will assume a paragraph is closed when it encounters the next <p>. Closing a paragraph actually makes good sense, closing a break seems like a waste of perfectly good characters.modulo the HTML gods referenced above.

Blockquotes are another useful trick. This entire paragraph has been enclosed in blockquotes. Anything you put between <blockquote> the example text <blockquote> gets indented and set off by linefeeds before and after. This example, rendered, will look like

the example text

the text above. Blockquotes can be nested (placed one inside another) and are a great way to distinguish the source of a quote from your own text.

Preformatted, or the <pre> tag provides a way to grab a bunch of text that is already formatted with tabs and spaces and not have HTML eat all that lovely white-space. As usual a closing tag is required with this </pre>. You can use this trick on a webpage but you need to realize that if the text you are copying wraps because it runs into the edge of the page and not because there is a CRLF present it will behave the same way in the preformatted chunk.

---

Horizontal Rule <hr> generates a horizontal line the width of the page. People often use this to separate their comments from those being commented upon. This also does not need a closing tag. A width can be set with this element, <hr width="150"> looks like:

---

Note that it is automagically centered. You can align="right" or "left" to position it explicitly. The usual caveat about using percentages instead of pixels applies so the preferred form looks like:

<hr width=10% align=left>

Which yields:

If “we” don’t get the stomach, then what non-stomachs “we” possess will be ripped out by the enemy instead.

True, but it will cost a billion lives to do what needs to be done. Honestly, I can see the atheist governments of the west giving "the ultimatum" to Christians around the world as being far more likely than to believers in that pagan death cult.

[Olog-hai]

Explosive anger (like I’m feeling right now) tends to hinder my articulation. I’m just stating what will happen in the face of US inaction, which is now historic.

I think what you just said here is what I was trying to say.

[Olog-hai]

It’ll cost billions of lives either way, whether we act or not. The main difference would be if we act and act decisively (and in faith—who in the US leadership says that anymore?), which would result in the preservation of the peace. Calls for inaction, as the author of this article here insists on, will merely hasten the arrival of the conflict.

Khomeini’s best mate was Arafat, a Sunni. Then again if Arafat or his PLO gang had tried to grab land or mess with Khomeini’s authority in any way he would have been shot & hanged upside down in public. Sunnis & Shiites can be very friendly so long as they don’t pose a threat to one another in power & control. However, with ISIS I don’t believe it is that simple. They seem too ideologically driven, unwilling to compromise.

Send oudmbo over there to draw another of his famous red lines in the sand, maybe he will get put UNDER the sand.

[Olog-hai]

What precisely have they said that makes them look dedicated to the elimination of Shi’a Islam to the exclusion of other Islamic goals?

[Netz]

So, we’re blaming the Jews again?

You stated: Problem is the Arabs did not give up, they persisted and closed the tech gap that gave Israel and the US unlimited power over the Arab resistance.

Can you explain how Israel and the US being strong thwarted Arab “Resistance”? The US supplies the Arabs with weapons too and what does “resistance” mean to the Arab mind? To your mind?
Resistance means killing anybody not from your tribe. Is that a better reality?

You remind me of that old adage about how the Arabs are always revolting. So one may ask are the Arabs revolting, the answer is, yes they most certainly are...

Islam and democracy are mutually exclusive. They have proved it too many times for us to try to tame the savages.
