Of course Hanson has revealed the obvious but it certainly doesn't address the solution.
Sooner or later, we are going to have to give the Muslims the jihad they so desperately want... and this time we'll finish the job.
The Philippine Insurrection tied down U.S. troops from 1899 to 1913 fighting mostly Islamic jihadists whose suicidal ferocity was a factor in adopting the Colt .45 because of its knock-down power. The Philippine war was so unpopular that press censorship was imposed at times because the news media was depressing the U.S. public. Mark Twain was a leading antiwar celebrity at the time. Ultimately the U.S. military developed tactics to solve this complex war successfully.
Sound familiar?
