OT What's All The Fuss?

by of Doug Patton, a freelance columnist and political speech writer

WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?

"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not
started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September
11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not
brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac
from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly
three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or
crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated"
when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I
don't. I don't care at all!

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents
for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime
in Saudi Arabia.

I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for
hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling,
slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out
and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by
hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search
of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their
suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First
Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead
of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to
release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off
the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up
an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have
been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest
assured that I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told
not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the
bank that I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,
and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is
complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can
absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.

Then why are you wrong so often?

Scott, I agree with all you have said I wish all people wuld see Muslims as
what they are. And give them the same treatment a Christian would get in
any of their countries. Scott

Whoa... Muslims, as in *all* Muslims? The quoted material separated out
terrorists from the everyday, ordinary non-extremists.

I mean ALL Muslims! They hate all non-muslim people. And we should feel the
same about them. We get critisised for not treating muslim prisoners
properly. They just kill ay prisoner they take. Wake up! Scott

One must think and act like a barbarian if one is to survive. Obviously
we're still conducting ourselves as if this was a gentlmen's war, which it
ain't.

Would you have felt that way about all Germans, Italians, and Japanese
during WWII?

If we hadn't tortured those prisoners, we would likely have made much
more progress in Iraq by now.

Do you really feel this way or are you being facetious?

We achieved peace because we kicked the shit out of them....

Agreed, the key to permanent peace is unconditional surrender. Letting
the bad guys off the hook to fight another day guarantees that you
will.

No. There are other ways. The first three that occur to me:

- Remove their reason to fight.
- Eliminate their will to fight.
- Find ways to neutralize them, principally by eliminating their support to
render them impotent and then treat them as irrelevant (but watch them,
nonetheless).

All done by the use of overwhelming firepower and the will to use it.
One of those we don't have.

In other words....kick the shit out of them.
