"nothing ... can protect them and their way of life from fanatics who hold mercy in contempt and exult in killing themselves as they kill."
Wrong. A genocide can, and will, protect.
Well said. The party of appeasement in this country (the left, the ACLU, the liberal media - most notably the New York Times - are just as deadly as islam. The first step in winning this war is the neutering of the party of appeasement.
This struggle is similar to those civilization has been fighting against for 5 millenia. The roving invaders of old routinely extermined populations and imposed servitude upon the survivors.
I honestly do not see these attacks upon our culture as much different. Liberal intellectuals need to open their eyes and not see reasoned, misunderstood gentlemen, but bloodthirsty, murderous hordes, no different than those of thousands of years ago. If you want to understand this struggle look to Tamerlane, Ghengis Khan and others who shattered civilizations and left nothing alive in their wakes.
This is an old enemy we face, not a new one.
Thank you for sharing your haiku with us.
Isn't it possible to be all three?
