"For bombs to be decisive, they have to be used to break the will of the populace to continue fighting."

For the Japanese fighting WWII, life ended after death. Death was the end. For the Muslims, however, life starts after death. Death is the beginning. They do not fear death. They will march on. Be willing to go all the way to "end" it.

Let’s see how this will play out:

First, any poor, illiterate Iraqi who picks one up will be tortured and killed by ISIS. ISIS will then issue a Jihad against Sweden. The namby-pamby Swedish government will apologize profusely and lock up the pastor who sent the drones over. Case closed.

“We lost that war because of our quisling peaceniks here in the country like Hillary and Bill.”

Would you agree that honorable mention should also go to Hanoi Jane?

Our government, controlled by allies of and those in thrall of an Islamist known as “Obama”, refuse to even name the ideology of the enemy. Give vast sums of money to the enemy. And whether by design or repeated negligence transfer arms to the enemy. Obama and his allies work for the enemy militarily, economically, and ideologically.

Islam has been stopped before. It can be stopped again. It was in remission all over the world until the influx of petro-dollars in the middle east.

Oh hell yes. She was instrumental in getting the bombing stopped. The reign of hell those Buffs delivered nightly on the HO Chi Minh trail were devastating.

Let’s see:

1. Much higher birthrate.
3. War-like religion promising afterlife goodies.
4. Well petro-dollar funded.
4. Well armed by Russia(Shites) and the West(Sunnis).

Back when they were stopped, only 1 out of 4 was true. Now, all 4 are happening. Good luck.

Not talking tactically here, where a bomb is sometimes just the thing. But stratregically, it’s hard to see how you could stop ISIS-type recruiting on six continents and every U.S. city, college and soccer team, with bombs. There’s not a good fit between means and ends here.

Short-term, maybe. But to really change the situation, hearts need to change. And only the One True God can change hearts, not bombs.

Are you saying that God’s Word is ineffective?

“Are you saying that God’s Word is ineffective?”

Who is talking about God’s Word? I am talking about dropping bibles in the desert hoping that the lost souls would read them (assuming they can read, of course) and be saved.

No. I am saying this was posted in a General/Chat thread and not in Religion.

I won’t defer to blind religious faith in the face of alternatives God has allowed to proceed in the past many times in the past.

I mean no offense to you, but our existence here is predicated on free will and action. Your interpretation isn’t really much of a factor in what the will and way of God will do.

If the Swedish government gets wind of this those people will be severely prosecuted for committing racist islamaphobic hate crimes against ISIS.

It really only takes the political will to do so. Unfortunately, western civilization seems to have a death wish.

You are correct. The best way to counter their recruiting here is to promote our culture and religion instead of denigrating it.

My point was that we have lost the stomach for waging war against our enemies civilian population. Wars always continue until it is too painful for the civilians to continue supporting it.

Doesn’t matter what they believe if they are dead.
