Welcome to a new (probably soon to be not so cold) Cold War. Far worse than anything we had going with the USSR. At least most of them in charge shared many aspects of western civilization with us. These people today don't. Things could get very bad very quickly while you sleep tonight. The world could change before we wake up in the morning. God help us.
Ditto that because the Soviets were never suicidal or insane, unlike these Islamic nut jobs.
We don't need God's help on this. We're strong enough to do this ourselves. We just need a little luck and some guts. I think we have enough of both...
At least with the Cold War you could have a MAD status because even the Soviet warmongers were afraid of dying or having their cities and families obliterated. With the Islamofascists they are afraid of no such thing. Heck, as for their families, many of them would or even HAVE slit their own wives' or children's throats themselves. What do they care? They're insane.
The protection offered by MAD with the Russians loses it's potency with people who can't wait to die for their cause.
