[...] my learned colleague previously noted, “it is time to declare victory in the War on Terrorism and move on.” There is simply no value in war without end. And in this slightly dated, but no less relevant [...]

CURZON,
THANKS FOR YOUR FEED BACK ON MY COMMENTS.
MAYBE I WAS NOT CLEAR ON MY POST BUT I DO UNDERSTAND A DEFEATIST SELF DESTRUCTIVE MENTALITY WHEN I SEE IT REVEALED THROUGH WRITTEN WORDS.
I THINK TOTAL WAR WITHOUT MERCY UPON FANATIC ISLAMIC CRIMINALS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE CURRENT DIFFICULTIES BECAUSE THE “HOST” COUNTRIES FAIL TO MAINTAIN ANY SEMBLANCE TO NORMAL CIVILIZED BEHAVIOR BY THEIR CITIZENS FOR REASONS KNOWN ONLY TO THEM.
EVEN IN THE FACE OF WANING “GLOBAL” SUPPORT FOR WAR-IRAN MUST CEASE TO FUNCTION AS A CONDUIT FOR RELIGIOUS FASCISM. THE “WISH” THAT IN ANY GIVEN COUNTRY LOCAL ISLAMIC PERSONS WILL PROVIDE USEFUL INFORMATION THAT PREVENTS MASS MURDER “SOMEDAY” IN THE FUTURE IS A “HOOKA PIPE” DREAM.
LAW ENFORCEMENT ALONE WILL NOT WORK BECAUSE INSANE MURDEROUS RELIGIOUS ISLAMIC FANATICS GET POWER FROM KILLING OFF ALL THOSE WHO DARE TO DISAGREE WITH THEM, INCLUDING OTHER MOSLEMS BUT ESP NON-MOSLEMS AND THE “LAW ENFORCEMENT” MAY ACTUALLY BE AS HARMFUL TO FREEDOM LOVING CULTURES AS ISLAMIC FANATICISM IS ITSELF.
BOTTOM LINE: CUT OFF THE HEAD OF THE ISLAMIC FANATIC SNAKE, IRAN, AND THE BODY WILL DIE.
THIS IS THE ONLY ANSWER.

[...] Atlantic Review has an excellent post on Germany’s Role in Operation Enduring Freedom, which I will hopefully chime in about if they ever have another BLOG carnival (I’m looking at you, Joerg!). In other news, Publius has a post on Britain declaring the Litvinenko Killing as State-Sponsored Terrorism, and Coming Anarchy reports on Britain saying goodbye to bumper sticker sloganeering. [...]

This seems like a good move made for the wrong reasons. I hardly think Brown is operating here out of a rational approach to terrorism, but out of fear of his own radicalized Muslim minority. Dropping the “War on Terror” moniker will make many Westerners more receptive to the necessities of the fight, but I doubt it will make a significant difference in the communities that terrorists actually come from.

“Our own war against Islamic Fundamentalism is becoming an extremism indistinguishable from jihad.”

I, for one, have no trouble distinguishing the two, and this reads to me like equivalence for the sake of equivalence.

I’ve been reading Coming-Anarchy for some time now, and while I often disagree, I never fault the reasoning of articles. Facts are facts, but it’s the interpretation that I sometimes differ with.

In this case, however, I am in one hundred percent agreement. There’s no reason not to declare victory now. While there’s hardly a reason to declare victory on any particular day, in a war against a noun, you can hardly hope for someone to step aboard a battleship and sign a treaty.

Policing the world sounds much, much better than fighting the ‘evil doers’ as long as our police are less corrupt than most of those found in heavier Eastern buearacracies. I’m sure I spelled that wrong.

Britain was good enough to follow us into the breach. Let us now take a turn and follow them against the new threats to our security. Our own war against Islamic Fundamentalism is becoming an extremism indistinguishable from jihad.

Yes, the use of caps is so highly effective at bringing the point of one’s argument across. Pure reason! We are all impressed. It does so much to highlight your argument.

Keller, I don’t think you’re reading the post. This isn’t about going “soft” — it’s about an exit strategy for one phase of the war as global support fades.

On a similar note, I’m glad to see that lighters are now allowed back on planes (although some so-called “experts,” who make their living off this type of nonsense, are worried). I hope liquids are next. When flying domestically in Japan, you can carry liquids on the plane, but all are checked with a brief chemical contents scan. Common sense and safety is the way to go: passengers need only arrive at the airport 20 minutes before departure, compared to 90 minutes as recommended by many airlines in the US.

YOUR CONCLUSION IN THIS ARTICLE THAT AMERICA MUST END ITS “obsession with Islamic terrorism” IS PURE CRAP. THE ONLY “OBSESSION” LIES WITH THE ISLAMIC FANATICS WHO BELIEVE THEY LIVE FOREVER WHEN THEY DIE KILLING ANY NON ISLAMIC PERSONS. IN MY WORLD VIEW ISLAMO-FASCISTS WILL BE DRINKING THERE OIL JUST TO WET THERE PARCHED LIPS. THAT IS A HINT HOW TO BEAT THESE BASTARDS ONCE AND FOR ALL. HIT THEM IN THE “WATER” SUPPLY AND PEACE WILL COME AROUND REAL FAST AS WILL CHEAP OIL SINCE AMERICA CAN TRADE ONE BARREL OF WATER FOR ONE BARREL OF OIL–OR LET THEM DRINK THE OIL UNTO DEATH.
DONT THINK THESE FANATICS WOULD NOT TO THE SAME TO US IN A NANO-SECOND IF THEY COULD. LETS DO THEM FIRST FOR A CHANGE OK?
