"Delenda est Carthago":
Carthage must be utterly destroyed. (A phrase with which Cato the elder would utter after finishing a discourse in the Roman senate. He urged the Roman people to the destruction of Carthage, which he looked on as a dangerous rival to Rome.)

"Delenda est Islam"

All we know today is that where the once mighty city of Carthage stood there is now a desert of salt. Nothing was left standing. Salt was imported to make sure nothing grows out of Carthage again.

We may one day need to revisit the prophetic saying of Cato uttered 2400 years ago as we struggle agaist the tyranny of Islamic terrorism.

Maybe Islam forgot about Carthage!

We are there today. The level of morality in battle is chosen by the side willing to sink to the lowest level. The killing of innocent children in front of their parents has reached the lowest level, I submit that it is time to let loose the dogs of war and strike this evil until they cry out that Islam is wrong, and they are wrong.
