No second-place winner, no "third way" solution-- it's March or Die time, folks.
It's Us versus an eighth-century "culture" of plunder, forced religious "conversions," and the mistreatment of women.
The sooner we face this fact realistically and quit dancing around PC talking-point nonsense about diversity and tolerance, the better off we'll all be.
We didn't pick this fight- which really has roots in Jimmy Carter's appeasement in 1979 of militants- but we had damn well better see it for what it is, and be prepared to face it and finish it.
I'll put it in raw, personal terms-- I don't want Sharia law visited upon my women, and I don't want a goatroper "culture" infesting my land.
I don't want their vile, nasty weapons of mass destruction loosed on my fair country, either.
They picked the fight, so it's up to us to finish it- balls to the wall, hammer and anvil, fire and blood and iron... freedom is never, ever free, and the coin of the realm is men's lives.
What we saw during Gulf War I was our military doctrine ( high tech ) versus Soviet doctrine ( throw a lot of low tech iron at the problem )-- and we all know how that turned out.
What we have just seen in the 3-Week War is Information-Tech,
( Some are calling it Hyperwarfare... )
or 21st Century warfare versus 20th Century...
What I would suggest, and call your attention to, is the fact that we, and Israel, are capable of waging 21st Century warfare, and the entire Arab world is not.
Proven fact, by recent events.
Believe me, lessons are being drawn, across the world...
Not only the Arabs; NO ONE else is capable of fighting this kind of war.
Believe me, lessons are being drawn, across the world...
Russia, China, Europe...
