The West will not lose...but how much must it suffer?

Above all it is my intent to open discussions around finding solutions that we must come up with in order to ensure a better world, where dictators can no longer hide out and simply blame the West for the poverty and pestilence of the populations that they are supposed to be administering. IT IS NOT AMERICA OR THE WEST'S FAULT THAT DICTATORS SEIZE CONTROL OF COUNTRIES WITHOUT CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR OWN PEOPLE, live in luxury, and allow their people die of disease and untold hardships. But it is America's and the West's fault if we allow them to bring their dysfunctionalcustom to our lands. What can we do? What should we do? How? When?

The West is being painted into a corner by a ruthless, inhumane, political and combative network of Muslim/Islamist Fascists, but the walls that frame that very corner that we are in consist of standards, paradigms and precepts of our own creation. So while our harvests are plentiful, we perceive ourselves to be comfortable and/or we gorge ourselves with tempting quantities of pleasures - AND BURY OUR HEADS IN THE SAND - we will NOT be prepared to take the necessary steps to fully shut down the Islamist threat, their supporters or the Treacherous many amongst us. However, continue to corner us and we will be left with no option but to lash out with unbridled furry and wrath, without our pre-emposed limits.

It is our shame that we should allow further peril to materialize.

Crucially, we must not allow Islamists to alter our great institutions – i.e. Senator elect Ellison must not be allowed to use the Koran for his swearing in ceremony or official photo session, just as Congressmen must not be allowed to be sworn-in using a comic book or dictionary because they happen to believe in its contents.

Islamists and their supporters must be put on notice that they will lose all assets, including property, funds, equity, oil, whether in the United States or overseas, even if the assets are hidden in Family Trusts, with Family members or other vehicles. Yes, this applies to the Saudis, Iranians, Iraqis, etc. Oil resources must not be mismanaged as they have been for so long by Muslim Arabs, for these resources are crucial for the entire world economic survival - thus these resources belong to the world, even though fair payment should go to the countries from which the oil is sourced.

Firstly, of course the oil revenues would go to pay for the War on Terrorism but it should also be used to build infrastructure and successful economic normality in the land from which that resource is sourced; and secondly, it is imperative that the energy resource of oil be managed appropriately on behalf of the entire world and not for the furtherment of Islamic Fascism's desire to influence, manipulate and control the West or any other country in the world. Islamists must not control these resouces, anywhere.

Islamists must not be enabled to claim "Racism" or "Human Rights" abuses against anyone else until they learn how to practice these decencies toward the non-Muslim minority populations in their midst. Muslims either believe in Human Rights or they do not. (Saudi Arabia?) Will only force make them adopt humanity? We can't win anything by trying to be the nicest guys on the block when the enemy interprets this as weakness; we can only win by being the strongest guys on the block and standing by the cornerstones of what has made the West great. We believe in freedom and equality for all men and women, but this doesn't mean that we must believe that anyone is going to promote these great standards if we are all dead or enslaved.

WE WILL NOT LOSE. But how much do we need to suffer before we firm up our united resolve and vanquish our enemies, whether Islamist (i.e. Osama), Traitor (i.e. The New York Times, CAIR...) or supporter.
