The Unavoidable War With Islam

Glenn Beck calls this, the building of the perfect storm. Others call it incompetence and weakness delaying the inevitable. Here it is from someone who knows - An Arab Christian.

“I have to tell you something which very few of you seem to comprehend.” He continued, “Your bungling war against a few thousand Hezbollah fighters which you should have crushed no matter what, considering the importance of the outcome, has created a completely new situation, not only for this area, but globally. Your inept leadership totally misunderstood the importance of winning this war."
“The American bungling of the war in Iraq only added to their conviction that victory not only over Israel but also over the West is not only possible, but certain. The ramifications of these two bungling wars may bring an Islamic bloody Tsunami all over the West, not only in Israel. The sharks smell blood and these two wars gave them the green light to attack sooner than they had in mind. Your problem is that you are on the defensive and they have the option to choose the time and the places when and where to attack and there is nothing much you can do about it. When will you Westerners realize that half measures don’t work with people who are willing to die by the thousands for Allah to achieve their goal? In their eyes the Western World is simply an abomination on earth that has to be wiped out.”

Haunting article, tiger. It seems that Hezbollah is set to launch another offensive in the summer - I've seen my fair share of editorials and blogs that have supported this theory. What isn't as obvious is whether there will be a war with Hezbollah, or one simply fought for the sole purpose of being pictured as "doing something", anything to avoid being labelled as incompetent.

Hmmmm, good question....

This idea, "Unavoidable War etc., presupposes that Israel and America's people care enough about their respective societies to engage in "necessary" action; actual war, for instance. After a brief moment of aggression after 9-11 we reverted back to our sullen, selfish concerns. Israel did a similar thing with their Lebanon excursion. So, IF we get to a point where we actually start fighting for our lives, the little political skirmishes will cease and the real thing will begin.

Francis, in the article, is saying of course that so far our PC efforts have done nothing but embolden the enemy (Islam). And, he is saying Islam, not radical extremism. He is one more witness explaining what we have to do but don't wish to do. A minority of Americans and Israelis understand the threat. Vast majorities are still asleep, including most of our leaders.

So, if and when we awaken, Hezbollah, all of Syria, Iran, and all the rest of the Arab world problem (not just in the ME) must be addressed in one way or another. Based on this predicate we will eventually have a global war with Islam - or, we'll capitulate and die!
