Again, with procedural changes and tightened border security we could be reasonably sure that nothing resembling September 11th would happen again. All this could be done at a tiny fraction of the cost we are spending in Iraq.
"Taking the fight to the terrorists" is nonsense and that is my point.
This is just foolish. Let Radical Islam dominate in these countries, as it surely will without outside interference, and nowhere will be safe from its influence. These people will set up the most extreme form of totalitarianism the world has ever seen. Brutal repression aided by technologies developed in the free world. An entire society driven by the desires and beliefs of a small group of radicals. People who hold to a value structure that you and I will find near incomprehensible (as I do right now).
Not some backward ass country like Afghanistan was under the Taliban. Incredible oil wealth with the ability to buy anything their own repressed society cannot produce. Anything. Iraq and Iran becoming the center of a â??new world orderâ? spread across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
One value structure, one set of beliefs and goals, a common hatred of the west centered on the United States. Actions unfettered by any kind of morality as we understand it. We are less than animals to these people.
Without the United States and our allies stopping Radical Islam now, that is where we end up.
What about your â??procedural changes and tightened border security?" Look beyond your own myopic, ignorant, near-term liberal foolishness and consider the kind of world you want your children to live in. Hell on earth? Not for me.
