We need a strong alliance of countries willing to fight the global jihad.
NATO could be invaluable as the core of that alliance, but the NATO countries need to start by winning the internal battle against Islamification which they are not winning now.
I agree. The old alliances have just become like doddering old women arguing about the color of the office drapes.
A new alliance of nations willing to define, confront, and attack the threat posed by militant islam is now in order.
It will be a small alliance at first (US, UK, Australia, a few others), but will grow as other nations wake up to the threat. The wake up calls will most likely be events that involve a few thousand dead civilians.
And we don't need symbolic partners in this alliance. We need nations willing to commit troops and treasure to the effort.
