And I would prepare for war --- something the U.S.A. is NOT doing.
There will be NO sanctuaries. Not inside Afghanistan. Nor outside Afghanistan.
Confessors get their chance with immediate termination upon parole violation, without regard to collateral anything.
I expect the bad guys to do everything to hide behind women and children and the innocent as well as the misled.
We do our best to get the best intel, so that we hit the perps. That is how we minimize the damage to others; NOT, by avoiding our duty.
This war is against the evil which misleads people, which misled Germans, which misled Italians, which misled French to betray their neighbors ... up to and during World War II.
Now, with the decades - long help by the socialists' building the world - wide terrorist network, that monster has re-created on its own. The terror again has such a grip, that many more nations and regions than should, are equivocating. That tells you how bad it is; how many have lost the courage of individual responsibility.
I'm going to hold some socialists accountable. In particular, because their lust for centralized power, parallels that of the religious frauds who use that exact same power to mislead people into thinking they're earning God's favor ... when they should be desiring his love.
This is NOT a religious war.
It is, however, a war against false prophets, who rob people of God's love, by blinding them to the gift of asking forgiveness before God, and which false prophets, also seek to supplant mankind's free will to seek God, with the "care" of a false state.
If you can find one believer in Islam, who would ask forgiveness and resist the perps who slaughtered thousands on Sept. 11th, than Islam is not to blame. And likewise, not Judaism, nor Christianity, nor any other religion of God, is to blame.
Rather: Lust is to blame; vanity is to blame.
The perps could have used their remarkable resources to feed, clothe and shelter the very people such false "leaders" profess to be representing "solidly."
So much for "policy makers."
This is not a war against "hate crimes." That pile of straw is a deception created by socialists, plain and simple, should we care to note.
It is a war against corruption which is insidious and widespread, and the most basic of the traits of the false prophets.
We are at war against corruption.
Not that you asked, but such is the current plan, here.
Here are two suggestions that fit the waging of war against terrorists:
1- make airplanes a non-issue for use as weapons by closing off the cockpit from the passenger cabin, period, whatever it takes cost-wise to do it;
2- deport all aliens from Middle Eastern or countries where Islam is the predominant religion (including Indonesia, etc.).
Until you realize that we are in a war of SURVIVAL of our society and culture, you cannot fathom such drastic measures as necessary.
Here is a link to a couple of essays that can help to cqatch you up to speed on this religious war.
