2bananna makes excellent points with regard to Islam, but if you want my opinion on Muslim Jihad, I would say that they watched events unfold during the Gulf War and decided that our humanity was our weakness. One hundred hours may have been enough for us, but it was not enough for Islamofacism. We should have rolled over Iraq then, beheaded Saddam and put his head on a pike at the city gates. We should have crushed the life out of the jihad then, and the Kuwaitis and the Kurds would have been stalwart allies forever and OBL and his bunch would have slunk back into their caves in Afghanistan.

That did not happen and the first President Bush was defeated by a weakling called Slick. TWA 800 or OKC? Who knows? But we do know about the Embassies, the USS Cole, and Khobar Towers. All unanswered by a smooth talking coward. OBL sent us warnings, all ignored by the glitzy Clinton administration. What Bush 41 did was an error in judgment. What the Clinton Administration did was to bare the neck of the American people to the Muslim sword.
It is a testament to the careless nature of the American people that neither the Clintons or their staff are not in prison for what they did to this country.

I agree that we do not fight wars as though we “mean it.” We never really seem to CRUSH the enemy anymore. And, with a religiously fanatical enemy, fully prepared to die inorder to force his/her views on others? The only answer is to crush them and their means to make war against you. It is the only way....IMHO
