Not only are they fighting for a religion, but they are fighting for a religion that encourages their own deaths as a quick trip to paradise. That is the most dangerous kind of zealotry, since it's not amenable to correction by occupation the way it was with Germany and Japan. Then add the concept of "fighting to build democracy" instead of "total victory" and you have a recipe for disaster. America was never good at empire, and changing the word "empire" into "peacekeeping and building democracy" doesn't change the futility of the concept when dealing with primitives who espouse a religion which demands submission and celebrates the deaths of its own people in pursuit of that goal.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-39675834729822562732012-04-11T10:38:35.843-04:002012-04-11T10:38:35.843-04:00Tehachapi Tom: The problem is always that America...Tehachapi Tom: The problem is always that Americans have felt secure so far away from the problems of the Middle East, Asia and Europe that they don't see the threat as immediate. 9-11 should have changed that, and it did briefly.

We've been fighting a war for political solutions, they have been fighting for religious solutions. <br /><br />The practical application of this will be Afghanistan. After spending a few hundred billion bucks not to mention thousands of lives, there will be little effective change when we leave. <br /><br />= British Empire FailKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289856510554336990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-62706446413722824432012-04-10T22:58:22.245-04:002012-04-10T22:58:22.245-04:00HAWK

Right now, most Republicans are a little annoyed at how Santorum used up the time for no good purpose, but not enough to completely reject him. He has folded early enough to get partially rehabilitated. I would have preferred him totally obliterated. Still, I don't think he will even get close next silly season.Joel Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856960977033430002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-13837222906548734492012-04-10T15:01:43.612-04:002012-04-10T15:01:43.612-04:00Joel: I'm at the "enough, already" ...Joel: I'm at the "enough, already" point. Newt can't win, and Paul's a joke. The sooner we pick a candidate, the better. The last thing I want to see is Newt's gigantic ego further dividing the Republican Party. They've made their point, they will have an influence at the convention on the platform, they'll pull Romney to the right, and that's all fair. But let's get on with beating Obama (something Santorum did say, though without an endorsement).LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-66464191860375264612012-04-10T14:58:42.249-04:002012-04-10T14:58:42.249-04:00LawHawk, I don't think he has any plans to end...LawHawk, I don't think he has any plans to endorse in the near future.
