Oh, he has plenty of answers. It's not the first time you read Hanson, is it? If its indeed the first: see his own website http://www.victorhanson.com, his archive at NRO: http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson-archive.asp and posts of his articles here on FR: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=victordavishanson

His approach (in my words, not a direct quote) is: don't get wobbly, destroy the bastards, don't pay attention to the shrieks of the multiculturists appeasers, drain the swamp of the Mideast dysfunction that spills its anguish onto the world.

Yes, sometimes he is less optimistic that we (the West in general, not the people of the FR type) can master the will to win

We have to stop putting up with the Islamists - ok, Islama-whackos - preaching hatred and fascism in our midst

Which means do what?

and ignore their claim of victim status.

And do what?

We have to be a lot less finicky on the military side too, and just go after those we see as sponsoring terrorism, and eschew the UN-dance steps.

And attack whom?

See what I mean. Just generalities because enunciating specifics makes you the target.

" ... Western self-loathing and guilt is essential: A fascist agenda of the jihadist — religious persecution, gender apartheid, racism, militarist autocracy, and xenophobia — all that must be embedded deeply within the postmodern landscape of the oppressed. A non-Christian and non-Western “other” can mask his venom only through victim status, grafting his cause to the same exploited groups that seek from Western society benefaction and compensation."


Being an American nationalist, I have no self-loathing and have no guilt. I do have a piss poor attitude and a supreme desire for survival.

Open up the hunting season. Let the thinning of their herds begin.

Methods
Terror is the signature of the Islamist: hit, back off; hit, back off — hoping in a few years to erode the will and nerve of affluent and leisured Western countries.

The trick is instead to wage war insidiously, incrementally, and stealthily to avoid an overwhelming response. A cooling-off period in between 9/11 and 7/7 in which Western apologists, pacifists, and Islamist sympathizers go to work is essential for the terror to continue.

Hanson tells it like it is.
