People nowadays seem to forget or they apparently never knew that during World War Two, Imperial Japan’s armed services were the al Qaeda of that era.
They though it was the greatest thing in the world to die for their Emperor. We finally found that we had to fight them to win and did so when we showed them that if they all wanted to die for their Emperor, we would accommodate them with atomic weapons.
To defeat al Qaeda and the growing world of Islamic terrorists dead set on killing all of us as a religiously necessary Jihad, we need to fight them the same way and if necessary, use nuclear weapons before they use nuclear weapons on us.
To those who disagree and want to keep a live and let live policy, only reacting when and if they strike at us, I say why should we just continue letting al Qaeda and other Islamic Terrorists take support from Muslim ruled countries and many, if not a majority, of their populations to kill our citizens and troops as normal church doctrine?
Granted, not each and ever follower of the Islamic faith are true, blue dedicated 100 percent to their religion just as not every Protestant, Catholic or Jew is set on their particular theology. However the basic tenet of Islam since Muhammad founded the religion is to convert or kill all infidel non believers.
Each religion down deep believes theirs is the one and only true way to a life after death, but Islam is the only one that tells its followers to go out and actually kill non believers as a matter of fact to gain a clear path to the afterlife.
So, what to do? I would rather fight to win as quickly as possible rather than let them literally nickle and dime us to death for years and years to come.
The dirty little secret (apparently it’s a secret to many although not to many others) is that we are indeed at war with Islam, not a relatively few terrorists/extremists.We are at war with hundreds of thousands of active and potential Islamic terrorists and tens of millions of their sympathizers,sympathizers who provide a steady stream of extremists eager to kill. Until a was against them is based on recognition of this reality it will fail.
Interestingly enough Osama Bin Laden studied the techniques used to recruit and brainwash kamakazi pilots. He used these methods to do the same with/to Al Queda recruits.... they coninue today.
The biggest difference between the suicidal Japanese of WW2 fame, and Al Qaeda-types today, is that the latter is not defined by geography. It’s more cancer-like and you don’t have any place to nuke that would scare them to extinction.
It might be worth a try to blast out the Kaaba, though.
