I am not a big fan of getting involved in these countries, absent some threat to our vital interests. The flip side of that is I don't want them immigrating here, as refugees or under any other guise, and bringing their problems to us. I reject the claim that we are equally barbaric, etc. The record is quite clear our troops operated under extremely restrictive rules of engagement that put them at considerable risk just to minimize the potential for civilian casualties. We aborted an attack on OSL's terrorist camp because of the presence of women and children, children who probably are terrorists themselves now. You must feel terrible about the barbary we inflicted on NAZI Germany.
So I wonder how all those thousands of people wound up dead? Which sidesteps the question of what we were doing there in the first place. The conservative solution is to kill them all. But, again, it pays to understand the roots of the situation. Or one can just rant.
DB's ISIS friends are at it again... ISIS executes 13 teens for watching soccer http://nypost.com/2015/01/19/isis-executes-13-teens-for-watching-soccer/ At some point you are either with us or you are with the terrorists. Being an apologist for the terrorists is the same as being a terrorist. In WW2 we locked up apologists and supporters of the Nazis for the duration of the war. It is time we started doing the same in the war on terrorism. Some may think that the statement above is extreme and it won't come to this and a repeat of WW2. I believe this day may be coming sooner than many think. History can debate if this curtailment of civil liberties in multiple western countries in a time of war is a good thing - but it has certainly happened in the last world war.
I'm with neither. Nor am I an apologist. But the only option among those like you who are ignorant of history is to kill them all, and this is not possible. So come up with something that even approaches being workable or live in a state of perpetual outrage. I suspect you'll opt for the latter.
Muslims don't like soap http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...ithdraws-soap-brand-insulting-to-Muslims.html
"In his book Slavery, Terrorism, and Islam, Peter Hammond wrote a detailed analysis on the proportion of Muslims to the overall population and increased violence and adherence to Sharia law. Hammond’s research reads like a roadmap to ruin; a horrifying picture of the future of civilization. To summarize an oft-quoted section: When the Muslim population remains at or under 2%, their presence tends to fly low under the radar. In the 2% – 5% range, Muslims begin to seek converts, targeting those they see as disaffected, such as criminals. When the population reaches 5% they exert influence disproportionate to their numbers, becoming more aggressive and pushing for Sharia law. When the population hits the 10% mark Muslims become increasingly lawless and violent. Once the population reaches 20%, there is an increase in rioting, murder, jihad militias, and destruction of non-Muslim places of worship. At 40%, there are “widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare.” Once beyond 50%, infidels and apostates are persecuted, genocide occurs, and Sharia law is implemented. After 80%, intimidation is a daily part of life along with violent jihad and some state-run genocide as the nation purges all infidels. Once the nation has rid itself of all non-Muslims, the presumption is that ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ has been attained – the Islamic House of Peace."
