— Ace It's a simple idea, but it seems to have been forgotten.
9/11 was not a call for understanding, nor an invitation to self-examination.
It was a premeditated slaughter, a massacre.
Three years ago our country dozed off. We thought that if we elected a man who talked nice to our enemies (take a look at what candidate Obama said about unconditional talks with North Korea, Iran and Venezuela) and pronounced “Pahk-eee-stahn” like a local we’d somehow steer clear of terrorist attacks. The fact is the world is much more dangerous now than it was three years ago. We are less popular in the Arab world than before we hired citizen of the world Obama to be our Commander-in-Chief.And as President Obama implores Americans to heed the call of 9/11 and volunteer at a soup kitchen, our enemies are plotting their next devastating attack on us.
9/11 was a declaration of war. We answered. Then we turned our back. What will happen next?
The issue is often falsely phrased as a discussion between those who "want peace" and those who "want war."
We all want peace.
But then, we all would also like to never grow old and die from age or disease.
We "want" many things.
But adults generally recognize that the question is usually less about what we "want," and more about the situation we actually find ourselves in. Children, not adults, tend to simply bleat about the things they "want."

...let alone self-immolation.

The thing that gets me is that liberals now seem to believe that by "never forget" we meant "Never forget what you did to deserve this Tragic Eventtm".

I made this comment at the Hostages earlier:
I’m tired being told by the media that I need to “Remember 9/11!” “Tonight at 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central.” Front page stories every single day this week in our local paper. Can’t listen to the radio or watch anything on TV without being told to “remember 9/11.”
I don’t need to be reminded to remember 9/11. I never forget 9/11. I am reminded of it every single day when I read the fucking anti-American bullshit that the left spews from their mindless heads non-stop. I am reminded every time another adherent of the Religion of Peace takes out a couple dozen people in a terrorist attack, then am told yet again by my “betters” to not jump to conclusions regarding the “unknowable” underlying reason. I am reminded of it every single time our so-called “leaders” tell us that the REAL threat is average Americans like me, who love this country and want to see it saved from the destructive policies said “leaders” continue to enact through whatever means possible, legal or illegal.
I am reminded of 9/11 every time some whiny, anti-American, leftard douchebag, who spent the entire Bush administration crying “OUTRAGE!” at every single policy that was enacted when we finally joined the fight against those who declared war on us decades ago, now tries to tell me that I am now un-American because I dare to dissent with the policies of their Boy King.
Fuck all those on the left for making this fight more difficult that it needs to be.
And fuck them double for having the audacity to spend the day reminding me to remember.
Fuck you, you duplicitous douchebags. I will never forget 9/11. Nor will I ever forget your words and actions since that day.

My memory of 9/11 started as a 19 year old who had just been kicked out of university the prior spring for spending my freshman year living the AoSHQ lifestyle. I was enrolled in a local college, think it was the third week, first class wasn't until 10:30 or something so I was sleeping in.
My mom didn't have work that day so she was just doing housework and had been watching the morning news which of course was covering the first tower having been hit. A few minutes after 9, I had the strangest wakening of my life. My mom busted into my room screaming, "Wake up! We're under attack!" To which I just responded with a dumbfounded, "huh?"
She dragged me in front of the tv as she hysterically told me she was watching when a second plane flew into the other building. It didn't take long to understand what had happened. She wanted to know what we should do, so I just suggested we should go down to the yacht club where we could see the Manhattan skyline across Long Island Sound, 17 miles or so away.
So we hopped into the car, and 3 or 4 minutes later were looking out over the sound. The Twin Towers being the only huge skyscrapers in downtown make them easy to pick out on a normal day, but the plumes of black smoke against the clear blue sky were the most obvious indicator. Within a few minutes, a local cop car pulled up and two officers got out. We asked if they knew what was going on, but they were there for the same reason me and my mom were, just to watch.
The first eerie thing I noticed was the quiet. There's always a ton of air traffic, from where we were, it's usually hard to look around and not be able to count a dozen planes in the sky, but there was nothing, and the lack of the regular background noise was very apparent and unsettling. We did see a few fighter jets soar by, adding to the unease.
The cops had left their car on, and the radio was broadcasting one of the NYC news stations. What they were saying just faded into the background, until one of the newscasters started yelling, "The building's falling!" Staring at the skyline, sure enough, one of the towers appeared to almost split, then disappear from view. We all stood in stunned silence. I remember thinking about Obi Wan when he sensed a great disturbance in the force, I knew I just watched thousands perish, maybe even people I know.
Over the next few minutes, lower Manhattan was slowly engulfed in an expanding dome of dark dust. It's still an image I've never seen again in the ten years since. I've seen many pictures and videos from a much closer perspective, but never anything from my perspective, it was really like something out of a sci-fi movie. One of the cops had a camcorder with him and I'm sometimes tempted to ask the PD if I can get a hold of it, just to confirm I actually saw what I remember.
We heard when the radio said the second tower had fell, but didn't see it through the dome, the only change was the dome would grow blacker.
We continued to stand there for some time in silence, how long, I really don't know. Eventually we left, meet up with other friends, try to get a grasp of the situation, and find everyone immediately close to us. I was lucky, nobody close to me died, but 13 men and women from our little town did not return home that night or ever again. Everyone knows someone who lost a husband or a wife, a brother or a sister, a mother or a father.
It seems to me that more and more, those who wouldn't end up directly affected by the massacre that day, have become ever more complacent in their vigilance to stop these murderous fucks. But what can I say, I live in NY, solid scoamf territory, the people here are idiots. I do what I can though, to remind myself and those around me of what happened that day, and that the job we must continue to do.

We seem to be wallowing in pain and sadness, and need to inject a bit more anger and resolve into our remembrance.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but 12 people in my little town were killed on 9/11, and their families aren't wallowing in self-pity. They are remembering, but getting on with their lives.
A quiet resolve to fight this fight until the end is what we should take from today.

Does Islam *want* peace more than it *wants* Sharia to be the law of every nation on Earth? That I think is the only relevant question.
If Islam can understand religious and social freedom, then I think peace can be had. But if it insists at some level that the goal is a world ruled by Sharia, then a tacit approval will always be extended to the more radical factions of their religion, a telling "however" and "but" capping the end of *every* denunciation of violence giving quiet licence to more heinous acts. In that case, this war will continue until one side is wiped out.
We already accept Islam in Western Culture. Our freedom allows the religion to be praticed freely so long as it remains non-violent.
It is not we he need to learn to accept Islam, as we already have, welcomed them with open arms into our free nation. It is for Islam to learn to understand, accept, and respect us.
Then we can have that peace we both supposedly want.

I love my daughter, and her honors history teacher. They spent the first week of school talking about 9/11, and she has intently watched a lot of the TV shows about it this weekend. She was only 4 years old in 2001 and doesn't remember the day, so I was very interested in her thought about it 10 years later. She turned to me this morning after President Bush spoke in New York and said, "Mom, I know we have had two wars and lost a lot of soldiers, but it was all worth it to get the people who did this to us and make sure nobody tries anything like this again."

I want to thank you ace for this blog. I have been coming here a long time, at least 3 years if not more (I don't know if there is any way you can check). I can't remember what blog I was reading that linked here but I was hooked from day one. You write very thought provoking posts, sometimes with searing humor and sometimes in anger or frustration, but you always nail it. I can't imagine my day without this blog and the morons and moronettes who contribute to the conversation. The comments range from laugh out loud funny to heartbreaking. Many times I find myself saying, damn so and so said it way better than I ever could.
Hope the day was a peaceful day for all and also a day to reflect on what a great country this still is. Never forget. Never forgive. Never give up. God bless America.

Or this man:
FDNY Battalion Chief Orio Palmer
Battalion Chief Palmer was tasked with going to the South tower, where he led his men to the 78th floor (the impact zone). He was fighting the fires (up there) and organizing rescue operations when the building fell.

It may not be "conservatism" but it certainly is pragmatic realism.
This comment is exemplary of the kind of simpering weakness that insures we'll never win, never have peace. There is not one place on earth with a muslim majority, or large muz plurality, that is not turned into an utter shit hole by those fucking animals. Everywhere the Islam flourishes, civilization falls. The only thing capable of keeping any Muz land remotely liveable is vast oil wealth. And even then, sharia reigns (for those not rich enough to ignore it). The muz, by their nature, bring nothing good. The only apparent exceptions are not really muz at all - they simply self-identify out of habit or family obligation. Those people are not believing Muslims any more than Obama is a believing Christian.
People like Dick Weakjaw think we can just contain those people indefinitely - that we can kill a few of the worst of them and things will settle down. That is not the nature of Islam. They aren't going to be disuaded by deaths. They WANT death. They want death more than thety want victory, because their path to heaven is thought death in the fight against the infidel. Those too cowardly to fight must try to live in compliance with Sharia, and even then their prospect of getting to muz heaven is pretty damn iffy. They are committed to Sharia, and to making it the binding law of the land.
The only way to get rid of the plague of Islam is to destroy it utterly, both as a religion and as a collection of individuals.

I came from one o the hardest hit towns on long island. one of my mom's best friend's lost her son that day. So f you both for the vicious lies you post on this blog about me and my posts.

Destroy institutions of Islamic worship and forbid Islamic worship
Require muslim children to attend Christian schools and Christian religious services.

I had a 'discussion' a year or so ago with some libstain who tried bumpersticker logic on me: "It takes TWO to have war".
I replied, "You are correct. Now tell me, how many does it take to have PEACE?". I got the deer in a headlights look back. I told him it may take only two to have war, but it takes EVERYONE to have peace. If one nation or group wants war, then you will either have war or you have capitulation. Wanting peace was nice, but it doesn't occur uniliaterally.
Why are such simple concepts so difficult for leftists to understand?

True. Alas - we don't have enough strength to do it (especially since our war fighting doctrine as of late is focused on not killing any more of our enemies than absolutely necessary). We do, however, have the strength to vaporize population centers at relatively low cost. If ever we are hurt badly enough to develop the will to use that strength, then finally there will be some hope of ending the conflict.

I posted this story last night. This was one of the absolute most heartbreaking stories I heard. And it was on Oprah (sigh, I know).
A father whose young son had won a trip to LA with his teacher, was working at the Pentagon, and left his office. The plane with his son hit the area of his office.
I'll never as long as I live forget his mask of a face. He just said, "I wish I'd been at my desk."
My husband and would have felt the same way. Take me with you, my sweet boy.

If those muz women and kiddies you love so much have their way, you won't have to worry about living as an ass. You'll convert, or you'll die screaming.
Until Islam is gone, it will be on the offensive. The Koran-believing Muslim is more murderous and less reasonable or civilized than the worst SS man. Until they are, collectively, eliminated they will continue to be a lethal nuisance.

You can't murder a religion, but you can inform its followers that the next American so much as given a dirty look will result in Mecca being vaprized and unapproachable for the next 50,000 years or so.

I remember when it happened I was still in high school and I was amazed (though I shouldn't have been) at how my teachers and classmates reacted.
There's nothing wrong with rage, or hatred for that matter. Not when it is towards things like this. I am so sick and tired of the general message regarding 9/11 being nothing but weeping and overly-introspective navel-gazing.

If another attack on the scale of 9/11 or greater occurs in the coming months or years, there will be two kinds of Americans. One will be the type that tries to say that Islam is a religion of peace that only has a few extremists in its midst. The other type will be those that recognize that there never has been an apology for 9/11, and that behind closed doors, 99% of Muslims support CAIR, Jihad, and the terrorists. This type will be those that go out and burn every last American mosque to the ground and hunt their cult followers.
There will be no middle ground. We all will need to choose sides.

Question; If you as a devout Muslim could push a button and VAPORIZE all non-believers, and everything they have ever created, would you do it?
Likely answer by over 90% .... Yes! with out a doubt or any remorse. The 10% remainder would say; Yes!, but only if they refuse to show unwavering allegiance to ALLAH. There you have the crux of the challenge here.

Just because a job is ugly and disturbing doesn't mean it should not be done. Alas - there are too many Muz controlling too many currently vital resources to just wipe them all off the earth immediately (though, long term, it would be worth it). The first step should be forced deportation of all those on US soil. Once alternate energy sources were worked out then we could take up the task of warring on their nations and carrying out the obliteration of their population centers. Simultaneously we should throw cash and politicial support at like-minded organizations in other lands, especially Europe.
We have a binary choice. Either half-heartedly fight Islam forever (or until it finally wins), or fight it with seriousness and work to destroy it. This can't be accomplished over night, but we're still stronger, smarter, better people - we can smash them.

Dirk is you assertion that Al Qaeda is just 100-500 bad guys and that as such we should just give them a pass? Probably not.
Id it that it is 10,000 or so of a billion give or take and as such we should give the whole billion a pass because otherwise "we are worse that the terrs"? again probably not
I don't think anyone here is saying that the first step in a clash of civilizations is eradication, but I am also just as certain that very few people think *shrug who cares get over it* WRT their little pyrotechnic temper tantrums.
At the end of the fay you either believe that the western world has the right to security or not. If we have the right to security you have to decide how culpable a state is when its citizens act internationally to attack other sovereign nations. The modern internationalist model of the sovereignty of nations and some Geneva convention model of civilization as rendered is a weakness not a strength.
It is my observation that the Middle Eastern nations are using "extranational" organizations of operatives as deniable assets to engage in attacks on nations without having responsibility a form of plausible deniability in intelligence operations. Considering liberals were aghast at the potential of US use of such in Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa in the '80s I find the "shrug" at holding countries that are in all likelihood definitely using deniable assets to advance their agenda to be puzzling. It is unlikely that you or Krugman for example would support an ostensibly rogue organization of Americans most with military or intelligence service going around engaging in asymmetric warfare in African coastal nations with the objective of resource acquisition and in the end this is analogous to the situation in Libya currently going on with our providing air support to "good guy rebels" who were killing US troops as recently as 15 months ago.
I would not dare suggest this is a morally superior choice to using first tier forces in a conventional CoIn mission profile by the way just highlighting by way of illustration that when thought of as benefiting the US asymmetry would be "bad".
I do not believe the current US model is correct, and I suspect economic warfare forcing the ME nations to lose their terror habit would have been a better path but it would have hurt EUrope. The United States forcefully going into these nations to remove the tumor of illegal operatives gives the regime moral standing with the populace. I suspect toppling some nations would be necessary but it would have to be case by case.
The issue becomes how to incentivize the ME nations into deciding the cost of using extralegal forces.
You can kill government forces
You can eradicate the facilities where they gather and train regardless of location
You can bribe the government
You can garrison whole nations
You can send out death teams if operatives like Mossad did in response to Munich
You can nuke em
I don't think killing 1 billion is needed or likely, but I do know that the exhibition of the lack of willingness to close ranks around Bush undermined the incentive and makes greater numbers of death more likely down the road. How many Muslims have to die to establish tolerance is not up to us unless we submit tomorrow. The point at which Muslim nations have the Nancy Pelosi approved lightbulb go "pop" is in proportion to how heavy a burden we make them carry for the violent people in their midst who break international law.
1 more or a billion the terror attacks will stop.
The Radical Muslims are trying to gain weapons that will generate megadeaths, it is far better to get this out of the way sooner rather than later.

I think it may have happened had Gore been President. It is easy to forget that OBL did not do maximum damage. Had the timetable been 45 minutes later he would likely have got 10,000 or more. We got lucky horrifying as that is to say.
I also don't think it will come to that, populations have a habit of getting their way even if the people in charge would rather they not.
If the message the left wants to send to the west is that "terror" works I suspect that elements of the native populations will say "great glad to hear it we'll get right on it!"
What will be charming will be watching the western nations go after native terrorists harder than the Jihadi....

I doubt even a horror such as that would be enough to snap the surviving libtards out of their stupidity. For them, other people dying is never a big deal.

Muslims are breeding at a rate well beyond replacement, while we are barely keeping our reproductive heads above water. In just a few generations, they will overwhelm us. No need for nukes, no need for tanks, warplanes, or even hand weapons.
Native-born Muslim women will be burqua-clad in cities and their megaplex suburbs from Miami to Seattle, from Boston to San Diego, and all our north American cities will be studded with minarets. The last refuge of the unwashed nonbelievers will be in heavily-armed and barricaded compounds way out in the boonies. The cities will be muslim, everywhere.

Perhaps, I think as the boomers die out and the Gen X women reflect and militant feminism abates our birth rate will go up. It is not as though the west has forgotten how to rut, we just added vacuum cleaners for the aftermath. We can cull the Muslim herd if need be tomorrow by not selling them food and destroying their medical base.
I'm not into the whole "race war" thing anyway.
Schools subtly program kids to want fewer kids and I have been deprogramming my son every time they try to program him.
Adversity and national distress increase the birth rate when needed, and I am sure it can be done again.

Yeah, if 9-11 didn't snap a person out of their stupidity, what could? That's what worries me. We have a good percentage of the population that cannot be reached. I don't know if there is a solution for that.

one of the less noble side effects of the information age is the distortion of just how much power we as individuals really have....
it magnifies the braying of the entrenched people in power in the media and their memes for the most part......
*we* control the future here not people who refuse to breed....
If the liberals want .09 kids per couple they are welcome....
I wanted 4, we have one because my wife is malformed, but my son understands the importance of carrying on the line, and that there is a Celestial exhortation for us to be fruitful.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and I was so impressed with the moonbats stewardship of our children I cut back my hours and made the decision to place parenting before career while my wife is on active duty.
The west'll be fine in the end I believe in us.

The only way to get rid of the plague of Islam is to destroy it utterly, both as a religion and as a collection of individuals.

They were reached, they feared we would be having worse attacks. Once they established the new equilibrium they reverted to rote. The only unreachable libs will be the ones who cannot overcome their multi-cult programming and/or moron pacifism. In the event of a massive war effort survival will kick in coupled with societal expectations.
We conservatives failed to punish the wayward liberals hard enough for their misdeeds, we allowed moderates and the muddled middle to remind us over and over that the people undermining our survival had rights, and because we were not too deeply harmed survival mode never kicked in.
Lose their own version of Mecca and they'll respond.

I'm starting to hear some of you talk about how the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition were justified...
How would you like your own little sovereign nations like the American Indians?
Posted by: KirkCameronLeftMeBehind at September 11, 2011 08:12 PM (iZ6fL)
The Crusades were justified fuckhead. They were defensive wars carried out by Christians to defend and reclaim Christian lands from an aggressive expansionist power.
And the Spanish Inquisition was an internal church aspect and the only time it really dealt with other religions is when they were accusing Catholics of secretly being Jewish.
Posted by: buzzion at September 11, 2011 04:58 PM (GULKT)
I also suspect they have a better appreciation of just how much restraint the US populace has really shown. Their cousins overseas have not been able to examine the breadth of the land with their own eyes and seen how much land Americans conquered. Add in their more intimate knowledge of our relations with the indians and when need be the mexicans and the American muslim is holding their cards close to their chests.
All that said we have in fact broken up several cells here in the US, they were not as spectacular a set of plots as 9/11 but then again were I OBL's strategic adviser I would be warning him not to kill so many again at once so who knows?

Good on you to place parenting above career and God bless your wife who is serving! I did everything I could do by homeschooling 5 kids, teaching them what was right and true and encouraging them/nagging them to have at least 5 of their own. I was thinking of that shampoo commercial where they tell 2 friends and they tell 2 friends and so on and so on and the entire thing just multiplies exponentially.
I agree with you that the west will survive, but I'm just not so certain about what the definition of "the west" will include at this point. And again, I hope I'm wrong about that.
Posted by: Lana at September 11, 2011 05:03 PM (2cVan)
Lebanon, 83, was a declaration of War...
Cole, was a delcaration of War...

156154 Jimmah,
yeah discussing child production is pretty cutting edge

Funny you should mention that, I'm probably as racist as the next guy, and when I see white people having a ton of kids I like it. The biggest threat is that moslems are having 8 kids per woman, and whites are having < 2 in some parts even less. Do the math.

they have to get here, convert the locals, or we have to shrug and join en mass.
I am not racist about it at all because race, culture, and insane piety are not all intertwining or unable to be molded.
Christianity has survived active persecution, borderline ELEs etc etc etc and if anything I hope that our culture post-enlightenment will hold on as well.
The US is not Germany and 2 generations ago we kicked out 3-5 kids per couple. I am more worried about the post-antibiotic age, but in a way even that little event will help crank up births since your designer babies will suddenly need "back ups". Add in possible cloning, theories on cellular rejuvenation through cloning and on and on Islam better hurry up and win and frankly I don't think they will.
Never forget the less known facts of the 9/11 hijackers itineraries to their fans back in the ME that they were whoremongers and drunks.
The muslims have an internal rot and a faith that can only be followed at gunpoint, exposed to western decadence here they will see that rot spread even further if it comes to that.....

nah I've been here off and on a long time....
I go through phases of long lurking though especially when I am busy.
The thing is I did encourage Ace to consider formally allying with Andrew. Ace has really tightened his game the last few years, and his instincts on what level of hostility is tolerable to stay credible with the moderates was dead on. I respect the posters here and I respect Ace a bunch.
Peaches we have to make contacts here in the virtual world and attract our corner of the movement to rally 'round the flag and crawl on broken glass almost no matter who we nominate. part of our loss was the decision of the "SouthPark Republicans" to go to RONPAUL!!!1111 and Bob Barr as a protest vote, and we need to use our influence to bring them back home.
All of us on this site live in two worlds, and we should use this place to sharpen our points, and humor to use in the real world with the swayable folks we know. We have the more moral and freedom based ideology, and we take the protection of America more seriously. There is a reason Bush won twice warts and all, and the Obama the swayable part of the 52% were sold is not the guy who they were sold. This needs hammered home, never forget he ran as "purple not red or blue".
We can win this, and we must win this but it will take work and networks to offset the donk advantages in academia, the old media, and the civil service.

evidently pointing out cornerstones of game theory on proper response levels seems to mean that I have stated my personal taste in proper level and rate of increase of force.
Good to know.
There is little doubt we failed in the overall goal of reducing the cost-benefit ratio of ME nations harboring AQ low enough to reduce AQ to a non-entity and instead have gone to the garrison model......
so you need not worry about "nuke 'em 'til the fish scream" and most not certainly with the current PotUS.

It is easy to forget that there are some structural changes that need to be made to Islam to prevent its eradication eventually anyway.
They never had a reformation that led to secularization, and they have not had their version of Locke.
The Chinese, Indians, Russians, and EUros all have issues with militant Islam...one day one of the actors will make a big statement....

No, Dirk. You are (perhaps once again) extrapolating without good cause. I would just like to hear your thoughts on the instructions in the Quran to kill all infidels. Your one-sided condemnation is getting very tiresome.
Posted by: Peaches at September 11, 2011 06:08 PM (/ybwc)
Look we're talking past each other I fear and I am not trying to humiliate you call you a dhimmi or anything.
What I am discussing is a game theory concept that was extremely relevant last in the cold war.
I would far prefer the number of Muslims required to teach them tolerance to be "zero" I am willing to tolerate it if necessity requires it to be "all". There are plenty of tools in our toolbox to walk slowly along the number line. The thing that the opposing team must never do is doubt your resolution to see the cause through.
The problem is I fear, that we have lost sight that the reason we are on the ground in the region is to instill that lesson.

sven

as I said you're moral.
Me, today's 9/11....emotions run a bit high I almost took the day off from here.
Ace has rules and he'll enforce them, me today I don't tend to judge so harshly....
I have little use for recounts 2000 types that still can't let go, no use for troofers, and am not too fond of people who bleat "nuke 'em all!" 365....
today though....
Look I think the way Bloomy and Bambi decided to handle today was gauche and in the long run harmful to both the US and the Muslim world and it is magnifying the depth of hostile rhetoric in some cases not diminishing it.....
if the left wants us to forget 9/11 they can just shut the fuck up and not have a ceremony.
I don't need keynes Klugman, and Kathleen Spitz Parker appointing themselves my grief counselor....
it bothered me enough I posted despite my initial intentions, and I am sure it made the pain in some hearts searing......

It's even worse because we're dealing with a lunatic faction that hurtles us & them into the fire as a magical invocation to God. Islam must be changed by Muslims into a faith stops hirabists sp? just like Christians mostly ignore chiliasts now (and prosecute them if necessary). The neo-con get them to live with us & deal with their own maniacs is actually the minimum start, it's working some and is scalable. Ignoring them didn't work.

I am just amused at the refusal to confront the notion that Muslims are less worthy of reciprocity than the soviets were....
it tells me that in all likelihood Donks past LBJ in power would not have responded to a Soviet first strike with all they could muster....
that actually terrifies me more than Bambi
the idea that the "massively moderate muslim middle" is somehow innately less culpable for the culture's sins than totalitarians from Europe because political correctness deems it so means we'll never win

Posted by: sven10077 at September 11, 2011 06:52 PM (AEIYh)
I know my comments will just get lost on here, but we have
really lost our way. 9/11 wasn't a declaration of war, more like tricking
us into war. If a little kid walks up
kicks you are you going to respond by punching him in the face? And I was
admittedly tricked as well initially before I learned anything about the Middle
East. Our response has led to the deaths and displacement of millions who
had nothing to do with 911, that's just reality. It has emboldened our
enemies. I'm not saying we shouldn't have done anything, I'm just saying
the response was way out of proportion. We started out right, Special
Forces took care of Al Qaeda, and then we should have been done after
that. I say that as a special warfare vet and current SOF reservist and
also someone who has lived/worked in the Middle East for years as a
civilian. I went to college in the ME. I know all sorts of paranoid
fools on here will call me a dhimmi or accuse me of taqqiya and other such
nonsense. Ok, whatever. I've been there, have you? Do you
speak Arabic? I'm just saying. There is a lot more to the big
picture. Not everything you read on the internet is true. Islam is
not our enemy. IÂ’ve had my life
literally saved by Muslims. We had and continue to have a lot of friends
over there, but we make it really hard on ourselves.
In the past how many other attacks have we seen? Thread 158 points out a
few, Lebanon in '83, USS Cole in Yemen in 2000. And notice anything about
these incidents? We were in Lebanon. We were in Yemen. President
Regan responded perfectly by simply leaving. Keep the spooks there, let
the diplomats talk, let private organizations give aid, but we don't need to be
forcing ourselves on them. In Yemen we
support a brutal regime that the population has been at war with for years.
The USA has a base in just about every country in the ME, often several.
I don't mean to sound like a liberal, but perspective does matter. IÂ’m not anti-war. We need to be smart. The regimes that
run the ME are not benevolent, they're brutal. We support them. We
keep them in power. Trust me, trust me, Muslim/Christian/Jew, I don't
care what you are, if you were born under the thumb of a hypocritical and vicious
despot wouldn't you want to get rid of him? If some foreign government
was helping to keep him in power, how would you feel about them? If they had a boat in your harbor would you
be inclined to attack it?
I'm not advocating the actions of these terrorists, but you guys need some
perspective. I don't mean to burst your bubble, I know you've dedicated
so much time to reading Robert Spencer's vitriol and all, but, it's not
true. Yes there are radical aspects to Islam, but there are also radical
aspects to Christianity. Muslims, just like Christians, cling to their
religious values when they get backed into a corner. Muslims around the
world aren't scheming to spread Islam and take over the USA, they really
couldn't give two shits. They want to feed their families, see their kids
grow up safely and go to school. They're just people, they want the same
darn things we do. But they are not free, and in response to tribulation
they cling to their faith, just like Christians do. Go read the words of
our own founding fathers. They're words are often so
religiously-polarized you'd think they were trying to establish a Christian
theocracy.
Context matters. We are making the
situation over there gravely worse. We encourage the radicalization of
Islam by our behavior. Most of the
violence over there isnÂ’t religious in nature, itÂ’s about power and
freedom. Whatever, IÂ’m done with my rant
now. Feel free to flame now. I just really hope that people will get over
this paranoid fear soon. If not there
will be more blood, and weÂ’ll be partially responsible for it. A large number of conservatives seem to want Armageddon
(especially talking to you Beck fans), and itÂ’s frankly a self-fulfilling
prophecy.

Don't know that I agree with everything you said, but I've certainly pondered the idea that we had too large a footprint in Afganistan as I've heard that from people who actually are involved in this. That makes sense and I see those points.

The idea that it takes two to have a war is like the little boy at school telling the bully, "I'm not going to fight you" as he gets bullied and beaten once again.
Reminds me of the Christian who is struck and turns the other cheek to then have his head struck from his neck by a sword.
Wish for pece they say....My Mom used to say a profound thing when we wished for something out of reach....Wish in one hand shit in the other and see wich one fills faster.
