Abraham Lincoln said (paraphrasing) “This country cannot long survive half-slave and half-free; it must eventually become all-slave or all-free”.
Adapting, this planet cannot long survive half-Muslim and half-non-Muslim.
We have two choices - raise that army or become Muslim. Don’t forget what Winston Churchill said about Neville Chamberlain.
“We had the Vietnam War won in 1970”
But we lost. “Had it won” is a meaningless phrase when applied to war. We have been defeated now in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan with the same error every time. The war is not over when WE say we’ve won - it’s over when the ENEMY says we’ve won.
Victory is MacArthur getting off a C-47 at Haneda and walking down the main street unmolested. Victory is not evacuating clinging to helicopter skids while saying “unfair! We had it won!”
“It didn’t have to be this way. W’s generals and their troops won the war in Iraq”
What a crock.
” Sure, there are individuals that would go to extremes. As a whole, though, it doesn’t want to kill you on an institutional level”
It is moving in that direction though
The enemy did say “You win” in 1970; our government, through its countenance of treason, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
