Who wants to WIN!? Can you spell V-I-C-T-O-R-Y?!Reader comment on item: Decision Time on Iran Submitted by DeadMessenger (United States), Nov 3, 2006 at 18:41 "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil…. …Is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Irish philosopher, statesman. I think a good response from the Democrats or any other American would be an expression indicating a desire to win the war against "Militant Muslim Imperialists." A war against unlawful, militant, Muslim ideologues that practice world wide terrorism against innocent people and militaries for world domination in the name of a religion. If democrats have that will, and truly believe this country and its citizens are worth protecting, I would sincerely like to hear what their Presidential and Congressional leaders intend to do to win that war. So far all we've heard is "…I have a plan…" Is that a plan? All I hear is criticism. Constantly yelling, "I told you so," using a biased media machine to divulge national security secrets, and politically undermining the war effort, isn't going to get the job done. Opening the borders wide for anyone to come in here isn't going to do it ala Georgy, Ted, John, Harry, Nancy, and Turbin Durbin. What is "the plan?!" The enemy wants the war to slow down. It's to their advantage to drag it on as long as possible. They like to see our congress bicker and filibuster and do nothing. They know and we know they can't beat us militarily. So they use our divisiveness and the constant drum beat of mob intimidation and death. The unpopularity of daily killing by a thousand cuts in order to force the American public and western democracies to capitulate and turn away and refuse to look at the daily grind of more death, because it is so frightening and horrific. The Muslim attack is insidious and imperialistic. They've been at it for over a thousand years; convert to Islam or die! They promote a primitive ideology with modern criminology, communications, and weapons technology. It's a social, propaganda and economic war in addition to a conventional battlefield. We'll deal with that, for now. However, when one introduces the fact and existence of strategic nuclear weaponry into the equation, somehow the charge that we're just being frightened and lied to by the Bush administration for political purposes doesn't ring true. Especially, when you see the rogue state nuclear proliferation that has been escalating since the seventies occurred during Democrat and Republican Presidencies and majorities in congress. And, most of that time it has been a Democrat Party dominated congress. It's easy to blame everything for the last fifty years, on George Bush, in hindsight. Yes, he is clumsy and inarticulate. He makes a lot of mistakes and so does his staff. And so do we, the American citizens. If we don't pay attention and start fighting this war as one nation, we may wake up on another beautiful clear September morning watching news reports from CNN and FOX on TV that reveal an immense explosion and a large mushroom cloud; billowing above the skies of LA. Perhaps, within minutes of that will be, multiple nuclear attacks on other major cities. There and then, if we're still alive, we'll be left with only the thought that a house divided shall surely fall. And, the morbid speculation about what devastation remains below the shadow of all that smoke. Then, once again, we'll soon see the good ole Democrat & Republican congressman on TV the next day holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, shaking in their shoes, singing God Bless America somebody please save our ass! Our youngest and brightest will run to our rescue to do our killing, while "we," and our sensational mongering media criticize and undermine everything and every mission they attempt. It is interesting to note, "we" demand that the military spell out and perform under the conditions that will make us feel better. Regardless if we win or lose or how unpopular war is, we'll feel better about someone else fighting and dying for us because it will have been a "sensitive" and "compassionate" war with strict "rules of disengagement." "Rules," that require criminal prosecution and imprisonment of soldiers doing their job; killing and imprisoning our lethal enemy! "Rules," that allow illegal enemy combatants captured on the battlefield to plea their cases in our domestic courts because they don't like the menu and barking dogs, or the edition of the Quran they were issued, or the fact that we're not happy with them, or ACLU lawyers that petition our courts and would wantonly bring our criminal justice system to a screeching halt with their frivolous litigation. The threats from within our country are near as lethal and potentially damaging as those without. It has been known for a long time that the threat of rogue nations acquiring nuclear weapons was a threat to the entire world. Yet, the Useless Nations does nothing but smile and debate and line their pockets with gold or oil or whatever. If the western democracies and honorable nations of the world won't stand up for their mutually assured survival, against these "evil-doers" then we are left to our own resources and strategies. Let'm have Europe the Middle East and Africa, no one else seems to care! The Chinese and Russians don't seem to be worried. They all say we're dumb, ugly, unsophisticated, and war mongers anyway. Yet, just like we do our own men and women in uniform, they love to have the luxury of someone else ( U.S.) to do their killing for them. So they can afford to sit around and act as if they are so much more cultured and civilized because they refuse to indulge in such barbaric behavior. It would be sheer terror for all of Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East to see our flag in the far distance leading the back side of every American Soldier overseas in preparation to board transport to a destination in our homeland. WAKE UP AMERICA?! WAKE UP WORLD!!! YOU WANT PEACE AND PEACE KEEPERS? LETS SEE IF YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT BIG BAD OLE EVIL AMERICA MESS'N EVERYTHING UP FOR YA!!! YOU'VE CERTAINLY BEEN GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY IN THE PAST!! ITS TIME TO TAKE THE GLOVES AND THE BLINDERS OFF!!! I SAY, PULL THE PLUG ON ALL FOREIGN AID!

LEGISLATE FOR AND BUDGET ECONOMIC SOLVENCY AND MORE EFFICIENT USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND SELF RELIANCE OFFICIALLY DECLARE WAR ON MUSLIM FIGHTERS AND THEIR SPONSORS AND MOBILIZE THIS NATION TO THAT END IF NECESSARY, STRATEGICALLY DISABLE SHIPPING AND REFINING OF OIL OVERSEAS. SEAL OUR BORDERS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! AND DROP A NUCLEAR BOMB ON ANY COUNTRY THAT DARES TO ATTACK OUR HOMELAND AGAIN; INCLUDING VENEZUELA! A GOOD OLD FASHIONED LETHAL DISPROPORTIONAL RESPONSE STRATEGY! THEY WANNA GO SO BAD, LETS HELP'M OUT! AND I USED TO THINK PEACE WAS SO EASY!! LETS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, SHALL WE? IF "WE" WANT TO WIN, "WE" MUST JOIN THE TEAM Another Infidel PS And proud of it! http://deadmessenger.wordpress.com/2006/10/28/msg-oct-3-2006-re-wimpy-rambossaloncom/ Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes.
