Perspective - I cannot help but remember the feroscity in the fight of Mountainyard tribesmen as the fought alongside Americans in the Nam. These are people who believe they will reside in a higher level of heaven if they die in combat, and even higher levels based upon the number of their enemys they kill on their journey to heaven.
To a practitioner of the Islamic faith death is not something to be feared, it is a passage to a better world, one called paradice. The expression of condolance to an Islamic surviving family member is one of your shared loss with him for his relative's passage into Paradice, and hope that Alah will grant him the wisdom and patience to understand the passage.
People who believe in Islam will and do fight with a fire in the belly that is rare in other militarys. They do NOT fear death, they welcome it.
What they do fear is contamination. Merely bombing Afganistan would only serve to send many Afganis to Paradice. Bombing the bastards, and spraying the corpses with lard would condemn them eternally to Hell, yes they do believe that, and fear it.
They would also never again occupy that land, or grow crops in it to eat. We have a sufficiency of time to build the necessary equipment to accomplish the task, and ought to do so. We also ought to make it known we will retaliate in such a way against any nationstate that gives aid and comfort to the offender in any attack upon US interests.
My memory drifts back to the answer given by a Soviet Diplomat mere days after the Iranians invaded the US embasy and took our people hostage. His response was simple and to the point, "Any such attack would be an attack on Mother Russia, and would be a total war". I've no recall of any attack on a Soviet or Russian embasy.
We have just ended 8 years of boot lickin candyassed political correctness, where it became obvious to even idiots around the world that the Giant was impotent. The only time our military exercised it's muscle was when Willie got caught wetting his little dick, so he could take the spotlight off his fat flabby exposed ass.
It's been all too convenient to forget Willie got American Troops dead and dragged thru the streets of Somalia because he decided to violate the agreement his predicessor had come to with the "leaders" of those fools.
8 years of no leadership has left our military in poor shape, and barely supplied, thanks to all the "humanitarian" missions, like American GIs picking up garbage in Hati. Wepon inventory was expended and not replaced.
The situation today is not good. We do not function, on a daily basis, in the manner of the Israelis. The US has never had airline security, how could we ever suggest we did when some damn fool on the government payroll made a decision anyone could carry a 4" knife on a plane?
This is a time to be pissed. It is not a time to act mindlessly. We need to think in the manner of a warrior, learn to know our enemy better than we know ourselves, and then, and only then, bring a full measure of vengence. To forgive is Devine, I'm not even close to devine, I'm a warrior.
