"Israel is the Canary in the Mine..."
... an early warning system for America and Americans.
What you see happen in Israel will one day come to our shores, unless we
1- free Israel to do what she must do for national security,
2- hammer our enemies and their enablers so hard that they whimper in their sleep when they even dream of trying to hurt us, ever again.
Fire and Iron, Hammer and Anvil, until they drop the idea of bringing us harm. There is no other way.
yes, a basically accurate metaphor for U.S. security issues.
B-I-N-G-O. Gosh backhoe say something I don't agree with once in a while just so I know you're not my clone in some kind of strange mirror universe that I've contacted through cyberspace.
Those that are trying to beat this enemy through conventional military tactics and law enforcement techniques haven't a clue. We'll only win by advancing through their brains. I know this is fiction, but I can't find anyone who has said it better.
It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face...And you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. I remember when I was with Special Forces...Seems a thousand centuries ago...We went into a camp to innoculate the children. We left the camp after we had innoculated the children for Polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every innoculated arm. There they were in a pile...A pile of little arms. And I remember...I...I...I cried... I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized...like I was shot...Like I was shot with a diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead...And I thought: My God...the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we.

We're not giving our enemies the respect they deserve, if we were they would be suffering in a historical fashion.
