Fighting a war against enemies who hate us and want to kill us and destroy our liberty, way of life, and our life, and against the population centers that support them justifies winning that war and doing so in a manner that brings about real change and eradicates the threat. It is what we did in World War II, and it worked.
IMHO, we either go in there and win and really defeat them and their will to carry on and make war...or we are dooming ourselves to an endless bloodletting and never having a victory.
They are now killing our people because we were going to burn some of the Korans that the enemy combatants we had captured were using to forment rebeliion and radicalization within the prison.
We defeated the very concept of NAZIism and Japanese Imperialism. We defeated them in a way that their very ideologies were discredited.
We did not do that with communism-socialism and we aren’t doing that with Islam either.
I totally agree.
