For some reason I was humming You Dropped The Bomb On Me by the time I finished reading this excellent article.

As long as we have spineless politicans , rather than LEADERS, running this country no Islamofacsit will ever see a mushroom cloud regardless of what they do.

“We did not think, even one percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11 … that the operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no, absolutely not, for humanitarian, moral, social, security, military and political reasons. Neither I, Hezb’allah, prisoners in Israeli jails nor the families of the prisoners would accept it.”

Words of a winner in the Arab Parallel Universe.

I think this article is probably the only one I have ever read on here that was getting me aroused by the end.

I did not want it to stop.

I don't know who this writer is, but I think I'm in love. This should be printed up in flyers and dropped over Lebanon, Syria, Iran and the other usual suspects.

A good example of a "Dutch Uncle" warning to a foolish nephew. I loved it!

The world, and even America, keeps forgetting that one simple fact of history: When our backs are against the wall and we are faced with a choice of fighting or dying/surrender, Americans have always fought and fought hard.

The terrorist's allies, the "anti-war" left, keep stating that we cannot kill an Idea (radical islam or terrorism). They seem to ignore that this is exactly what the islamofacists are trying to do to the world. The ideas of freedom, tolerance, inclusion, and human rights are the antithesis of the islamofacist mentality. From the inaction of the "moderate Muslims" and reading of the Koran I am leaning to include almost all of Islam in this assessment.

The terrorists could care less about diplomacy (unless it is used as a stall tactic) and could give a goats rear about any laws but Sharia. When faced with such a foe, the ONLY recourse we have is force and lots of it.

I hope the author is correct. Sadly, I doubt we have the national will to respond in kind.

The Left will blame us for getting nuked by Iran. It's what the Left does, they blame America first.

The media will report that of those killed, women and minorities suffered the most.

Pelosi will say that the lack of Federal spending was why we got nuked and scream for higher taxes.

Jessie Jackson will blame white people and demand several million dollars... none of which will ever leave any of his personal account.

I hope I am wrong.

Does the prospect of your wives and children becoming martyrs of Jihad fill you with joy?

Sadly, his answer might well be yes. They seem to be drawn to the hereafter because Islam certainly doesn't offer much hope for them in the present.

Civilization is essentially a compact of non-violence, a mutual agreement that certain measures will not be used by any party under any circumstances. Pieces of paper like the Geneva conventions are merely reiterations of that agreement.

Very nice restatement of essential Western political theory as it applies to global relations.

"But you have gone even further. First, by persisting in attempts to terrorize the Israeli people, who after sixty years of such tactics are uniquely resistant to them, you have succeeded only in goading them to increased aggressiveness. Second, by embarking upon policies such as the use of human shields, you are actually terrorizing your own people by exposing them to ever increasing danger and thereby weakening their resolve."

SPOT ON. Israelis will be more emboldened to kick a-- when needed. It also may case them to consider more strongly bombing Iran.

As far as the US is concerned. If they start bombing in malls in the USA killing innocents, they will really p--- us off. Our martial culture comes from the Anglo-Saxons, and like the Brits, we are nice unless you really p--- us off.

Outstanding piece!

Unfortunately, the "gentle" form of this message never seems to get through. I suspect that even if the intended recipient of the message read it, it would not sink in. Religious fundamentalism is so self assured and insular that reasoned words like these fall on deaf ears.

Article: "...bombing German cities with a rather half-hearted regard for whether targets were military or civilian and needlessly annihilating Dresden in what many think was a payback for Coventry." There were something like 125 military production plants of all sizes in Dresden, and the workers of those plants of course lived there. With their families. Somewhat similar to the terrorist cells embedded within the "civilian" populations in various muzzie-controlled cities. Firestorms sucked all the air out from shelters, etc. (think bunkers under buildings where God knows what nightmare scenarios are being dreamed up). It's way past time to roll.

I cannot actually believe the author is not saying this tongue in cheek: "Does the prospect of your wives and children becoming martyrs of Jihad fill you with joy?" If this is not satire, what is wrong with the eyes and ears of this author? Can he not see that the isalmofascists actually DO want to sacrifice their women and children, to bring about subjugation of the West? Women and children are property to islamofascist fanatics. They are to become 'gifts' to the demon allah, to purchase righteousness for the islamofascist. But America should be able to understand this, since we have the example of democrat politicians making this sacrifice of unborn children for decades now as their preferred means of empowering democrats at the ballot box.

A sobering article.

I was watching a program recently on the history channel. They were chronicling an F15 Eagle squadron serving in Iraq. Pretty neat.

I vividly recall one pilot articulating his war philosophy. He was polite, professional, and tempered, but he made it clear that his ultimate purpose was to shoot down planes; to accomplish his mission.

It was comforting to see that old school American resilience.  !
