These animals can not be civilized. They can't understand the concept neither would they want it if they could.
The same thing was said about the Japanese. They worshiped a false god as well. They sacrificed themselves to serve their false god. They committed terrible atrocities.
We not only conquered them. We transformed them into a civilized country.
Our mistakes in Iraq were twofold. One; we allowed islam to be a governing factor in their constitution, Two; we did not impose our will on them and follow through. Instead, the leftists undermined the military victory with a civil retreat.

Japan was in most ways considerably more civilized than Arab countries today. Remodeling their culture consisted largely of deleting A and encouraging B.
We also had the immense advantage of the tacit or open support of the Emperor, as well as the psychological impact of utter and crushing defeat.
Finally, the Japanese have always been a people peculiarly anxious to import foreign ideas, though adapting them to their own uses. The Meiji Restoration and Japanese political history up through the 20s was largely that of an extended attempt to impose western-style civil society on Japan.
The militaristic revival after that and thru WWII was a xenophobic return to (one aspect of) Japanese native culture. When it failed so completely, they were entirely open to new ideas.
I don’t think we have any of that in the Middle East.
It's just a matter of asserting our will to impose a superior culture.
If you read the book linked, above, you will understand the reason for the failure of the above statement.
To Nutshell it: You cannot impose a Superior culture on a SUPERIOR Culture.
Whatever We do is by default Automatically inferiour ,they are just so SUPERIOR.
I have met a few Iraqi men, knew one pretty well. They were so excited for the new beginning that America gave their country. I think about those guys and their families when I read about ISIS.
Muslims killing Muslims in the Sandbox, oh well. I never even gave them a thought as I drifted off to sleep last night. Worship a pedophile and bad things just might happen to you.
Yeah, can we arm both sides again?
Better yet, how can we encourage the House of Sodd and the Ayatollas to gererously supply both sides?
Hmmmm...maybe dog-eater IS doing the right thing.
Take note of the man in the tan shirt facing his executioners...
If true, isn't it odd, then, that Islamic regimes like that of Iran feel a need to engage in "elections" as a way of legitimizing their control?
I never felt sorry for the VC or NVA corpses. I’ll be damned if I am going to feel sorry for these Muslim scum.
Well said FRiend.
The only problem with your analysis is the notion that Assad, Saddam and Mubarak and their ilk were a stable form of government that could be maintained infedinitely.
It is much more likely, in my less the entirely expert opinion, that stresses have been building up in the Middle East for decades. The Shah was the first domino to fall from the post-war settlement, but the others were inevitably also doomed. The WWI settlement and boundaries have little relationship to the facts on the ground and are thus liable to eventual collapse. Which is not to say that whatever replaces them will be an improvement, from either our perspective or that of the inhabitants of the area.
America’s involvement may have precipitated the collapse, and there are certainly legitimate arguments that it would have been a good idea for us to stay out of the area.
But IMO it is just silly to think that everything would be stable and peaceful in the Middle East today if America just hadn’t invaded Iraq.
A friend on mine has a master plan for the region. First, build a wall 100 feet all around it. Have one door. Every ten years, open the door and ask if they’re still killing each other. If the answer is yes, close the door for another ten years.
Agreed.
I just want something big to keep the islamomurderers busy for a long time...and really thin out the herd.
Then the Kurds can inherit the whole area and man the oil wells.
It ought to be noted that the Kurds, while generally friendly to us, are about as hard on their womenfolk as anybody in the region.
No more getting involved in intra-Muzzie squabbles, haven’t we learned our lesson yet?
There's a video out there that's much more graphic, showing lines of prisoners on their knees waiting to be shot in the back of the head. Not one stood up to fight as the executioner calmly made his way down the line, shooting them one by one. None resisted or even spoke.
In another clip, the victim kneeled meekly, only grimacing as his head was pulled up by the hair, so the killer could cut his head off with a knife.
Were they drugged? Beaten senseless? Or merely sheep?
All Muslim “society’s” are at a critical moment. Every Muslim country is at war within and with all their neighbors. It is a side effect of being a governmental death cult that makes it a religious high point to slaughter all the non “true” believers, Muslim or not.
If, on being shown the superiority of a semi Christian culture, with justice and kindness they cannot choose anything but murder as religion, don’t blame America for not reforming them.
I would say Iraq is a perfect example and proof for the necessity of the use of nuclear weapons to stop suicidal cults. Might I point out that Hiroshima defeated the Kamikazes, not social reform. In Iraq social reform failed, perhaps because we did not use nuclear weapons to demonstrate our resolve. Perhaps because we never had enough resolve in the first place, defeat in social engineering was predetermined?
If you do not really know what you stand for, you may still stand, but for nothing, and that is what you will accomplish.
Greeting from a once great Republic, that is trying National Socialism and getting the Nazi Party in return, just like when Europe tried the same thing.
My guess is we are too stupid to learn from your mistakes, that makes us double dumb...
