The cost of war

It will take time
and casualties to do it, but we will win this war following this
plan, and we will do it over there where the monster lives rather
than in our own cities.


Alas, Bush doesn't share your optimism...

Meaning there will be no formal surrender ceremony on the deck of a battleship.
No VT day to celebrate. No treaty.

It will just fade away as capitalism and the rule of law replaces feudalism and
Sharia.

No, it's not a sure thing, but I haven't seen any viable alternatives offered
by those who criticize Bush and his team other than to sing Kumbaya and hope
the Islamofascists will be content with just killing as a few at a time.

A concept will fade away? How? Is everyone going to get a simultaneous
lobotomy or something?

How about dealing with the middle east at arm's length and quit unfairly
backing Israel?

I used to feel exactly that way, John. I just couldn't figure out why we
supported Israel, and didn't give the Palestinians a chance.

But, time has gone on, my world view has evolved, and I have seen how the
"Palestinians" (which, I've come to learn, don't actually exist as a people)
and radical Muslims truly have no interest in peace or democracy (or, for
that matter, our survival), and I've come around to the view that Israel is
truly a tiny democratic lifeboat in a sea of violence and despair.

In fact, without our long-standing support of Israel, I can't imagine what
the Middle East would be like today. I suspect it would probably be one
giant, unified, Islamic republic -- living under the law of Sharia (with all
the horrors that entails) -- and the world would be a much more dangerous
place.

I can only thank our elders, who obviously foresaw this and paid no heed to
the rantings of my youth.
