Erasure

After what happened to Nick Berg in Iraq, the past 2 weeks news events regarding the prisoner abuse by Americans has been completely erased in my mind. So much time and money wasted on a non-story, but then, what else is new? Don't get me wrong, I don't condone what was done but it was being and should be taken care of internally by the military and for congress to get involved and the news organisations to broadcast it 24 hours non-stop for 2 weeks is way beyond over the top. I'm with this guy. It's outrageous to be so outraged by what a few Americans did when compared to what these terrorist are doing and plan to do. They have promised more executions as if we didn't already know. The military should be allowed to take off it's gloves and untie it's hands and do whatever it takes to put these peope down - now. These people should not even be prisoners, we shouldn't be taking prisoners - just keep shooting till nothing moves. It sounds harsh to virgin American ears but it is the only way to win this war.

The American people still just don't get it. The Arabs are in this all the way. Their civilization is failing, their countries falling apart - everything they touch withers and dies. Their god does not answer their prayers. They've painted themselves into a corner and the only way out for them (they think) is to destroy America and Israel. Anything short of that is a humiliation they can't bear. Americans seem to have no idea of the seriousness of this. I don't care how strong we are militarily, if the country's heart is not in this we will lose. And if we lose this it will not be like Vietnam when we just bring our troops home, get high, and try to forget. Life as you know it will cease to exist. If we pull back, they will increase their attacks. They made the rules and this is a cage match, only one side is going to leave alive.

BTW, the silence from even the American muslim community is deafening.
