I am coming to the idea  that the enemy of civilization is --- civilization.

Once we are so civilized that we can't imagine the thought process of killing with no

materialistic goal (money, land, etc), but only for primitive religious beliefs, then we are too

civilized to fight back against those who will, and necessarily will lose to them.

We can pretend all day long that we can win hearts and minds because of the wealth,

education and liberties that Western Liberal traditions and civilization have provided. But

when you look at a young woman in a Burkha in the United States holding a sign, “NO

FREEDOM,” you must realize that these hearts and minds do not think in Western ways

and cannot be won over.

We must accept that this is a multicultural war that cannot be fought with culturally

Western goals (limiting damage and death, making the denial of material comfort the

goal, trying to find a way to get along). When the enemy does not think that way, when

their goal is to convert or kill – which has been Islam’s goal throughout history,

hearts and minds cannot be won.

Fighting in a multicultural world means accepting the goals of other cultures – even when

fighting them. This, truly, is knowing your enemy.

We have had prisoners beheaded before, tortured, etc. By the Japanese in WWII. Other

cultures fight other ways. Other cultures think other ways. We traditionally fight

Europeans in European wars – WWI, ETO in WWII, etc. Other cultures are different, as

the multicultis point out. BTW, The Geneva Conventions were very much designed for European

wars. The Japanese never signed them.

Well, this means we must fight them their way, not ours. We must understand and accept

how they are driven and motivated by their goals. Our goal must be every bit as harsh as

theirs if we are to win - which means if we are to continue to exist as Westerners with all the

freedoms, liberties and liberal traditions we have developed over thousands of years.

We must destroy these people before they destroy us. As in my earlier post, wars are won

by inconveniencing the enemy or killing his society. We cannot do the former in this

fight. We must do the latter.

Time is running out. Or do you want YOUR children fighting these people in ten more

years?
