RSSExcellent article. But I quote General Ludwig Beck “it’s a military operation, nothing ever goes according to planned”.
razib said “…concentration camps for domestic muslims would be far more effective than a world war against the muslim world (a reductio ad absurdum in the other direction).”
yes, yes. Sanity at last–well, maybe not the concentration camps…the inmates will just wait and sue the taxpayers 20 years from now when this cruel war is over.
but any Fool (please, get some fools in the government–we must not have any there) would know that worldwide Islam cannot be defeated. The war we could win is right here on our own turf, and if done right, would not even involve many casualties.
“Newt Gingrich says we are in WWIII.”
Newt and friends very much WANT to be in WWIII. I’ll bet my pink tutu that they don’t see themselves suffering much from it, should their dreams come true. They’ll be in their underground bunkers in hills of Virginia. But I digress.
If only Atilla the Hun were on the presidential ticket. If there is one thing this country is learning fast is how not to make friends and how not to influence people.
I am no great fan of Islam, but after the Cold War melted, them that wanted enemies (for oh so many reasons) needed to find some others fast. Before the early 90s, Muslims as such were not The Enemy. Certainly not enough of one to spark WWIII.
As for “terrorism” — if this government was serious they would have sealed the borders, not ignored them.
