Excellent, but missing one key element

One of the largest reasons why the west is doing as poorly as it currently is in response ot the rise of Islamism is the western liberal love of international law and obbsessive fear of killing civilians.

Case in point, when Israel finally stood up this summer to the aggression of Hizzbulah what happened. Israel invaded, but was too afraid to actually fight so that it looked weak and ended in a worse position then before. Civilans die in any war, especially one in which an enemy uses them as sheidls and thus a fear of not killing them shouldnt not exist too much. By doing so, Israel then looks weak incuring future wars and thus killing more soldiers and civilans on both sides in the end.

Somehow liberals cannot see counterintuitive things like this and the need to fight now to stop future fightign, and they claim to be the educated ones what fools. The only greater threat to the west than Islamism is the power of the self-loathinig western libreals. Hopefully war will come soon to end this whole mess.

Thank you Daneil Pipes for getting it right.
