When Al Q hit us on 9/11 we went to Afghanistan and rooted them out. Then AL Q went to Iraq to fight us there. They are now all over the world and if these groups aren't AL Q they are sympathizers and commit atrocities with them or in their name.
They can be beaten if we are serious about fighting them. They come to our country as immigrants and work in Mosques and preach their hatred and form their terror cells. Our security forces need to get inside their mosques and places where they meet. We need to gather intelligence on what is preached at these meetings and gather information on any terrorist plans or activity.
One person asked me if I was ready to violate their constitutional rights. If we don't do something our next constitution will be from the Koran and Muslim laws.
We need to deport those people here illegally and if they are here legally and belong to extremists groups, preach sedition, sabotage and murder then they should be imprison or deported.
For those people saying we can not spy on them in their Mosques, I say why not? We spied on right wing groups in their churches. We have spied on right wing groups, left wing groups and environmental extremist groups. We cannot afford another 9/11.
I agree with your assessment of how we
should fight this war, but I've seen no evidence that this is how we
will fight this war.
I imagine eventually the very things you suggest will become our strategy, but the sooner the better chance we have of achieving victory.
Still, when my wife and I were discussing this the other night and I suggested some of these very same things, she made the point that when we deport them they will simply attack our interests overseas.
Whatever happens, however it shakes out in the end, it's going to be a hell of a fight.
