Today all thinking people are watching with great concern the events transpiring in Israel. Opinions of all sorts are being tossed around but one thing is for certain we are fast approaching real and total war.
I like my liberal friends dread the idea of total world war. But unlike my liberal friends, I realize that war may be forced upon us. There are monsters in the world. Monsters are neither liberal nor conservative they are simply monsters. Hitler, Stalin Pol Pot and Osama are but a few.
How do monsters come to such great power? Again, many opinion fly through the blogs and traditional media. Most will say they gain power thru fear. I would say they rule because of cowardness. Is fear and cowardness the same? Did the fire fighters of NYC feel fear as they tried to ascend the world trade towers to fight the fire while bodies crashed to the earth all around tem? Of course they did. Were they cowards? No. They were heroes. They controlled their fear and entered into what they all certainly knew would be their deaths. Did the marines at Iowa Jima feel fear? Of course, but they controlled their fear and most went to their deaths to stop a monster. Monsters don’t rule by fear, they rule by the cowardness of the populations they rule.
The Civil war was the greatest tragedy to ever befall this great nation. And in essence the out come of the war was decided by only two men. General Lee and General Sherman. General Lee was considered a man of great integrity, honorable above all others. General Sherman was considered a monster by the south and more importantly by his own men. General Sherman was a monster of war. General Lee had given specific orders that no civilians and no civilian property were to be harmed. General Sherman destroyed every thing in site. Homes, crops, civilians, infrastructure, industry. He took the war not only to the soldiers but also to the civilian populous. He starved them, raped the women and killed them. In short he knew how to win a war. He freed the slaves.
In WW2 Patton, MaCarthur, and Eisenhower also were monsters of war. They fire bombed German towns incinerating hundreds of thousands of women and children. They nuked Japan again, incinerating hundreds of thousands in a single act. They knew how to win a war. They took the war to the populous. The people who were more willing to wear the chains of slavery than risk their lives in the quest for freedom.
President Bush after 911 said to the world, “decide either you are with us are you are against us.” And almost as quickly he adopted the liberal and weak policy of avoiding “innocent” deaths at almost any cost. He became like General Lee, a man of great honor. A warrior in the most elevated version. But he like General Lee will in the end, be a looser. The policy that Bush has put us on, the minimal collateral damage theory, will be as it was in Vietnam be a loosing path
If we are to win the war on terrorism, if we are to stop the proliferation of, and control over nuclear weapons, weapons that eventually will be used against us then we must become monsters of war. IslomoNazis are coming for us. They are monsters and, they are monsters of war. They exist because of the cowardness of their populations. If we are to win we must take the war to the cowards who enable the monsters. We must kill them men, women and children. We must starve them men, women and children. We must make their lives so painful, so horrible that they beg us to stop. To them this is a war of religion. To us it is a war of freedom. If we are to continue to enjoy freedom then we must become monsters of war.
