Failure to respond to attacks of war against America embolden those described in this article.

America's failing to respond with massive force in response to expropriation of property, killing innocent Americans, and blowing up the Twin Towers only emboldens the Islamists to more and greater acts of destruction of our lives and property. The growing belicosity described in this article will only be ended by all out war against them until they petition for surrender having lost the ability and the will to harm us. No hand wringing or appeals to compromise or acts of sacrifice can do anything but make these monsters more violent. Wake up America before it is too late. Overwhelming force is the only moral and practical response.
