In A Dangerous World........

[Rastus]

In a dangerous world, with our nation reeling from silly loan practices that the holier-than-thou Dems wanted, we have buffoons in the White House and Congress.

The left-wingers running our nation are, according to various news accounts, worried about stirring up the pirates/terrorists.  Gee, roll over and say please don't hurt me any more.... 

The sheep deserve what they get....the rest of us have to suffer with them.

The answer is so simple.

A)  Every American flag ship goes armed.
B)  Every time an American vessel or American sailors are attacked, successful or not, we blow up something Somalian.  A terrorist training camp, a Somalian vessel, anything that has the remotest connection with the pirates.   And this should be done immediately, within 24 hours of an attack.

After a couple of these object lessons ALL pirates will steer clear of our vessels and only attack vessels other nations.

But, do our leaders have the fortitude to do this?  No.

Maybe not a bad idea...sort of like Mutually Assured Destruction.

Not a bad idea? How exactly does mutually assured destruction work with a culture that spawns suicide bombers by the boatload? I, for one, would prefer not to be in a thousand year war with Islam as there are one billion of them, and Osama's wildest fantasy is to convert them all into jihadis. Lets not assist in that effort.

Bring it to a head - better now than in 5, 10, 20 years when they are even stronger. There may be more mooslims than Christians in the world, but not here in the US - and the mooslims still stand out here. I say bring it to a head - now.

I fixed it for you.

The Romans seemed to think the same way about Christians, see how well that worked. The fact is that with the exception of a couple minor little dust ups, the original Jihad that led the Caliphate of Baghdad to the very gates of Paris and led to Spain being colonized for a few hundred years, and the crusades where we indiscrimantly slaughtered God knows how many so rich folks could visit a manger, we've had fairly peacable relations with the muslim world. We coud do so again once the present unpleasantness is over, so long as we make it clear that we won't tell them how to live (however distasteful we find shari'a) if they understand they better do the same or face the consequences.

FQ,

The only reason we didn't hear from them was they were busy in there own shit holes.  Then when they got uppity again Tommy Jefferson cleaned house and showed 'em who not to mess with.

Will we ever be rid of them?  No, I don't think so.  Can we live peaceably with them?  Again no, I don't think so (their fault, not ours).

The best we can do is 'knock 'em back' every so often and remain on guard.  Right NOW is a good 'knock 'em back' time.
