| Strategy Page: Why People Hate the Invasion of Iraq by James Dunnigan |
| 2005-12-21 |
| ... But what is, âthe planâ currently in use for defeating Islamic terrorism? There is a plan, although for political reasons, all details cannot be admitted. Some knowledge of military (and terrorism) history, plus a close look at what has been done so far, makes it pretty clear what the plan is. ... It's a great lead in. Read the plan and why some hate it at the link. (Brutally Honest) |

| #5 I'm going to put politics aside and say: More reasons than these we have for defeating our enemies Mr. Dunnigan, and this ain't brutal reasoning. Here's some brutal for you: Democracy for the Middle east is a by product of our larger strategic needs as is any democracy anywhere in the world except right here. I love democracy and wish it for the world, but cultures with deep ethnic divisions and traditional religious conflicts that involve huge majority populations vs. permanent minorities are often not suited for representative democracy, and it is a gamble that it lasts there. Just a hard truth we have to swallow. We all know that this war was needed because we must survive as the global leader, and quite frankly I'm tired of having to make excuses to each other to justify guaranteeing the survival of these United States, the greatest country ever to grace the face of the planet. Let's bullshit our foreign enemies and "friends", not ourselves. But I digress, he wrote that article for general public consumption, so I won't criticize too much. I could go on, but assume regulars here don't have to delude themselves in order to justify us whipping the shit out of some foreign despots. Nuff said,criticism/agreement/total dismissal welcome as I know why I support the WoT and the War in Iraq and don't need any firther justification. EP |

| #1 "The Europeans [& Westies] felt they could live with thugs like...": is that before or after they learned that Osama and the Burqua Boyz actually meant a GLOBAL JIHADIST/ISLAMIST STATE, NOT JUST OR MERELY "REGIONAL", andor "US OUT OF THE ME", and wid "PERMANENT JIHAD"!? Is that before or after Euro anaylsts began labeling the Radics as "ISLAMIST BOLSHEVIKS/MARXISTS/COMMUNISTS"!? |
