I know.
“The Taliban ............enterprise.”
True, but irrelevant to the thrust of my argument.
My point is that the MAIN problem is ISLAM, not just the Taliban.
The Talibanistas are doing nothing but putting into practice what every orthodox Muslim believes and what Islamic teachings dictate.
The Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc, are mere reflections of many maniacal movements generated by Islam over its entire history.
And scenes like this are replicated a thousandfold in every Islamic country, including those where no Taliban exists.
I think we should deal with Muslim threats by Blitzkrieg tactics, moving in, destroying their military and infrastructure and then pulling out. By doing so we will teach them a painful lesson without subjecting our troops to a mindless, bloody, costly, and ultimately unprofitable adventure in trying to civilize savages.
They could much better be employed on the Mexican Border right now.
As for the Border, we can put the National Guard down there. However, putting troops on the border with binoculars and a radio is not going to do the trick. Put the National Guard down there with orders to capture and if need be shoot! Gotta have bullets in the guns to be effective. Unfortunately that ain’t gonna happen!
