Then I must assume you are willing and prepared to LOSE.

War is not - let me repeat that: NOT - something that is "love driven" (in your words. War is war, plain and simple: a violent struggle to vanquish your enemy.

The Islamics know this. Plainly spoken, it is a part of their beliefs (read: jihad).

Do you honestly claim that it was wrong to "hate" the Nazis, and what they represented?

Can you truly believe that it was wrong to "hate" the Japanese in World War II, for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and their horrible mistreatment of their victims (including American soldiers, such as my uncle who survived the Bataan Death March)? This doesn't mean we "hate the Japanese" NOW. But - during the struggle - that so-called hatred was a necessary component of the national resolve to see that struggle through to victory.

Hate, my dear, is a vital, and I dare say, NECESSARY, component of war. We have to "hate them" enough to want to WIN above all else.

The Islamics certainly "hate" us.

It's so beautiful "to love" (speaking as a guy who was at the first Woodstock festival). Yes, right. Even Christianity preaches that one should turn the other cheek. But Christianity is not (as has been said about our Constitution) a suicide pact. Before one can love, one must LIVE. And that means defeating enemies - and RELIGIONS (or Islam's pernicious excuse for one) that would defeat, dhimmify, convert and KILL us (and that includes YOU, my dear, unless you are Islamic).

We ARE NOT "damned" by being "hate driven" towards as foul an enemy as Islam. We _must_ hate them to create the fire within that drives us, as a nation and culture (and must also drive the West) to vanquish THEM.

When we have won the victory, then - and only then - we will be able to "put the hate away into its proper place", and enjoy the peace - and "the love".
