#1 I was just talking with my insurance lady Friday about riots. She said there were probably 2, 3 lines of Texas militia between me and any source of trouble.

Apparently (surprise!) while there is a distinction between 'riot' and 'act of war', damages from the latter will generally be disallowed.

#3 The West has lost the 9/11 war.

Western deterrence is gone.

No one, Muslim or not, fears or respects the West.

A civilization's nervous breakdown has consequences.

Wars that end in shameful defeat have consequences.

#4 ^ To be more precise, we surrendered. Vietnam same thing. That's how you go from winning 90%+ battlefield engagements yet still end up "losing". That's because "winning" was defined to mean something other than victory.

#5 A swift Western victory would have hurt the enemy's feelings and deprived the military industrial complex of years/decades of ample revenue.

Both effects were unacceptable, hence the Western political class opted for an endless special military operation that ultimately had to end in shameful defeat.

#6 Victory had nothing to do with the battlefield. Put this way, when you take out a nation's beloved leader, it's a good idea to have the military "otherwise engaged". And yes, ending in humiliation was always going to be the end result. Makes the domestic operations much easier.
