What you say sounds harsh. But only because the western democracies have become so complacent through extended peace, that they have developed a false sense of security and superiority when it comes to the philosophy of war. (Or "conflict", as these metrosexual intellectuals would disdainfully sniff). Call it the Chamberlain syndrome.
If you asked Americans or Russians during WWII to hold Japanese and German civilians harmless for the aggression of their fanaticists - you would have been roundly castigated, and eventually locked up.
It is absolute lunacy to let the enemy, who swims in the waters of sympathetic "civilians", to hit our soft targets, meaning to murder our civilians, at places of their choosing, and then expect our military to ferret out only those exact individuals with yellowcake on their hands. And then, to bring them back to skate through the travesty of our looney-tune "justice" system. Instead, the hordes of terrorists disappear into the folds of the societies that actively cheer them on.
This stupidity of ours is a luxury that will disappear in a nuclear flash over one of our cities. And frankly, no argument will be necessary after that. We will nuke so many deserving and undeserving targets in the aftermath, that muslims will be dragging out anybody remotely sympathetic to the Islamofascists, and dismembering them before Al Jazeera cameras, all while pointing to themselves, shaking their heads, and yelling "We hate Al Queda!!"
And will all that have been necessary? Nope. The leftist-inspired sentimental idiocy permeating our society will be the cause of these mutual disasters.
131 - good rant, and good observations about the liberal fools today who think 'being nice' will solve everything.
