America is at war —now let’s fight it

At approximately 8.45 a.m. EST America suffered a second “day of infamy”. The twin towers of the World Trade Center were demolished when two hijacked passenger planes were deliberately flown into them by American-hating Islamic fanatics. A third plane was flown into the Pentagon and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. Some estimate the death toll could greatly exceed 10,000 while the number of injured are yet to be calculated. Whatever the final figures these terrorist atrocities will scar America for decades to come.

The question being asked is: Who and why? There no mystery here. They were Middle Eastern terrorists with a pathological hatred of America. Irrespective of what most of our talking heads are saying, there is no real problem in tracking down those responsible.

It’s obvious that the terrorists piloted the planes. This led some to suggest that they were especially trained for the task. According to this line of reasoning one only has to focus the search to those few countries in the Middle East that have right kind of training simulators for these planes. This view is supported by the fact that this terrorist operation required intricate planning over a long period of time and involved a great many people. Such planning could only be successfully achieved with the collaboration of at least one state and its intelligence agency. Now this leads to the alternative conclusion that the terrorist pilots were either former airline pilots or even fighter pilots. If we consider this as a possibility, then tracking down simulators would be a waste of time.

Americans being Americans will opt for a ‘considered’ response. One which involves finding out who the culprits are and then punishing them. Very well, if those responsible are quickly found then they should be exterminated. Those states who harbored, financed or trained them should have all of their military facilities destroyed. And that means their army, navy and air bases; all their weapon-making facilities should be bombed into oblivion. This is just punishment for what amounts to an act of war against the US.

If, however, no particular terrorist group can be found responsible for their attack, an effective solution is still available to deal with these savages. The government has a list of terrorist organizations, anyone of which could have planned and carried out the raid and all of whom certainly supported it, if only in private. Therefore the government should promptly act to exterminate these groups. Those states who protect these savages should be given fair warning that if they do not summarily deal with these savages they in turn will be treated as if they had participated in the attack on the United States and treated accordingly.

America should not hesitate to impose a 21st century Carthaginian peace on its self-declared enemies. Let those Palestinians who danced in the streets and called for more massacres of American innocents face the consequences for their support for barbarism. Supply Israel with all the military hardware it needs and encourage her to retake the West Bank and exterminate all terrorist activity. Make it clear that any attack on Israel is now an attack on the United States. Before anyone balks at this suggestion let them quickly recall that it’s Israel’s enemies who attacked the United States and massacred it citizens, not Israel. So let Israel be our first line of defense in the Middle East.

These actions will be costly and require enormous reserves of moral courage and political resolve. America has demonstrated through more than 200 years of its existence that it has never lacked resolve or moral courage. The American people are slow to anger but when roused their righteousness is something to be justly feared by their enemies and greatly admired by their friends. Britain and Australia have publicly declared they will stand with America. Let France, Germany and other European countries do likewise and nail their moral colors to our mast. For on this issue you are with us or you are against us.

Over the years the editor of the TNA, Gerry Jackson, praised America as being the “sword and shield of the democracies”. The Cold War is over but the war to preserve civilization against barbarism has entered a new phase, one that more than ever requires America to not only stand between civilization and barbarism but to exterminate the latter. Just as the American Navy taught the Barbary pirates of Tripoli and Tunis a lesson in 1815, and the British Navy taught the pirates of Algiers the same lesson in 1816 when it destroyed their fleet and laid waste their fortifications. Let us deal the Barbary pirates of the 21st century the same deadly lesson. Let us make it clear there will be no sanctuary anywhere. No place to hide and no safe harbors.

Those Americans who think in terms of a measured and narrowly focused response against a specific target must learn that international terrorism is a Hydra which will quickly replace any head that is lopped off. It is a creature driven by hate and envy of the West, and a American in particular, and not any genuine sense of injustice. Therefore it can only be defeated by causing it and those states that support it so much pain that the only thing eventually left to it will be a self-imposed political exile from which there will be no escape.

While we're at it, we need to clean out these members an supporters in our governments.

AMEN.

We need to start ignoring the whiners and belly-achers and start concentrating on things that matter. We also need to close all the breaches of security in the name of more business opportunities. With terrorism within our own country, we need to promote an armed citizenry instead of discouraging it in any possible manner.

We also need to realize that we are in this world with jillions of other people and are not the remaining super-power. A touch of humility is needed in our foreign policy so more enemies are not created. We have enough enemies already.

We need to look closely at the individuals that are hell-bent on a new world order. Do we want to suffer the casualties and hatred that this fight for world dictatorship will entail?
