A: It seems to me that a brutal dictatorship is what it takes to keep these people in line. 1400 Years of a religion that dictates "Passion Rules Reason" has conditioned them to accept nothing less. As a country, the United States was and is unwilling to do what is necessaary to win this fight, so we should not have got into it until we were ready to do what is necessary. Instead of embroiling us in a no win ground war that is accomplishing little more than spawing more terrorists, we should have destroyed their government and infrastructure, then let them rebuild themselves. If they rebuild into something that is still a threat to the US, wash and repeat as necessary. Eventually, they will get it right.
Note: I think that the war itself has been a blazing sucess. We one of the best friendly/enemy casulty rates in modern warfare. The generals, troops, and even the administration have made sound decisions to limit friendly casultys. The problem is that it will not work in the long run. These people do not care and anything less than total, overwelming force will get through to them, thats why they need a dictator to keep them in line.
B: Yep, with little or no thanks.
C: Indeed we have, to the detriment of the next generation, and our own continued involvement in this catch 22. Most of these situations where the US rides to the rescue are unsalvageable. The reason disease and starvation are rampant is because the population has far outpaced the lands capacity to support them. So the US steps in and gives them food and medecine to help them live long productive live. Unfortunately, the only thing they produce is more children, wich then suffer the same disease and famine their parents did. After 50 years and untold billions in support, Africa is no closer to supporting itself than it ever was, quite the opposite.
D: Ok, and to back up A:, the only Democrocy in the region is made up from transplants from around the globe.
E: The reason our stock market is soring is because so many industries have shipped their labor to other countries where labor is vastly cheaper, thereby greatly increasing their profit margin. For those that already have money to invest, and don't work for a living, this is great!
F: I don't think the "terrorists" have tried very hard. Kind of hard to protect anything with a virtually open border. It probably takes the Arabs a little while to learn Mexican accented Spanish, but once they do, our country will be wide open to them.
G: Indeed. I think the next few years will be telling in how effective that fight has been. See F. They have taken a single, defeatable, enemy and splintered it into a shapeless, leaderless, hatefilled mob. It has worked in the short run, but we will see if and what that mob evolves into.
I am not a rag-head, I'm Danish. I don't know about anyone else though.
