"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winner!
If our military had been allowed to bomb Hanoi, invade North Viet Nam and stop the source of munitions, and NVA personnel from resuppling the Southern resistance... that war would have come to a very different conclusion...
The same can be said of what we must do to win in the Middle East...Take out Tehrans ability to resupply Iraq with munitions and Shihite warriors that are flooding Iraq this very day.
Not only would this sharply shorten the battle for Iraq, it would have the side benefit of stopping Iran's quest for nuclear weaponry...
