Barbarians brought down Rome.
They have been in existence since the dawn of man.
They now use our technological advances and our moral sensitivities to their own advantage.
The Geneva Conventions do not apply here. We must demand an immediate end to that discussion. We must also learn to accept that we must kill some who may not have been involved in the terrorism to get those who are... in fact, we may have to kill a lot of innocents.
If we lose here, we face a return to a city-state or even lesser civilization.
The Middle Ages, and even the Dark Ages await us if we lose.
Barbarians are at our gates.
If we lose this war, we (including France) lose civilization.

Bush was right this is a Crusade. The Dems slammed him when he said that but he was DAMN RIGHT!!
In what eighth grade? we studied that the Romans grew fat and lazy and were conquered by Bararians. You wondered how that could happen. Wonder no more because it is happening in front of our eyes. While we should be fighting for our lives we unfortnately are more interested in J-lo's love life. Americans need a good kick in the butt. One would have thought that 9/11 would have accomplished that but it didn't. Even the beheadings are a one day news cycle. Nobody seems to care.
"The Middle Ages, and even the Dark Ages await us if we lose. Barbarians are at our gates. If we lose this war, we lose civilization."
Yup.
