I'll add one: until we are willing to get our hands bloody fighting these butchers, they will prevail. They may not win, but they will prevail. They hide behind women and children as targets, use our "guilt" as a stick to beat us, and lie at every opportunity to which we listen and pretend to be confused about who the enemy is; and all the while we hesitate and fret over trivial nonsense. Until we are ready to intentionally level a mosque to a pile of smocking rubble, until we are ready to summarily execute terrorists, until we are ready to utterly disregard Muslim "sensitivities" in the interest of our security, until we are ready to employ torture and constant surveillance to gather information, until we are ready to stop apologizing for using every means at our disposal to hunt down and kill every Muslim who lifts a hand against the West, until we are ready to fight a long war to the death with these animals, then we are just dreaming.

I'm still trying to figure out what we're supposed to be "guilty" of. The Communist bloc (with its one party states, "great leaders," cults of personality, militarism, oom-pah bands, goose-stepping soldiers, flags and banners everywhere, work camps, and outlawing of all opposition) much more resembled Nazi Germany than we ever did, yet they emerged from that conflict arrogant in their "rigteousness" as the ultimate anti-Fascists while our anti-Communism was decried (by them and by our own Left) as Hitlerism reborn. How did America go from savior of the world to the "successor to Nazi Germany?" Even our defeat of Hitler's Japanese allies is considered a "war crime" by "anti-fascists" and our own self-haters!

Our transition from righteous liberators of the world to Hilter's alleged successors is absolutely beyond belief. How did the Left manage to pull this off? How did World War II become the only "good war" in history primarily because (as Pat Buchanan would agree) the West waged it against itself?

All that being said, I must admit to you to being opposed to torture on principal. In addition to being inherently immoral, it doesn't work for the simple reason that if you promise someone that you'll stop hurting him if he says what you want him to say, he'll say anything you want him to.
