The Terrorists Will Win

The sad fact of the matter is that to win a war you must be emotionally connected with the desired outcome if you are ever to achieve victory. In World War 1 and World War II each of the western world countries had a vested interest in winning the conflict because losing would bring them face to face with Fascism, Communism and Nazism. Today however the enemy is not defined only the methodology and the definition of winning has not been articulated only the victories en route have been pointed out. The problem with not having a leader (USA president) who will define the simple things like "who we are fighting" and "what it will take to win" is that our will to win and stay free becomes diminished and we become weak in the face of challenge and the possibility of defeat and subservience grows exponentially. If you look at history the major wars won by the free world have been won on the battlefield with force ( bombs etc) not negotiations with weaker nations. But those that would appease rather than annihilate our enemies tend to give away more and more of our sovereignty until we allow these nasty and ignorant powers some sense of integrity which in turn gives them reign to kill and destroy their own citizens. The United States has never dictated to any Nation anything other than a belief and a policy of respecting human rights. Certainly they want to protect their interests which is a prerequisite of their politicians as it is with any other Country of the World. But those on the left want our Countries to stay out of other nations politics. In other words if certain nations choose to kill and torture their people it is not our business to intercede. Either you are free and want others to be free or you don't, it's that simple. It is a fact that the USA and Canada have systems of government that allow free speech and the free expression of political will. Certainly this can happen in every nation if allowed to grow in a systemic fashion. But instead we are seeing the US government travel in the opposite direction. It seems like the terrorists have found that fear drives people to find protection in government which turns them into robots following the whims of politicians as they break our will and secede to the militants in adjusting our lifestyle in the way they have dictated. Unless we stand up and boot these wimpish politicians from office we will undoubtedly lose this battle with the terrorists regardless of the impending doom they seem to espouse. Perhaps we can have a cup of tea with the tense terrorists and persuade them to like us. Do ya think?
