The State of the World


For some time now, more then decades, there has been a subsection of the world that has been at war with the United States of America, and the ideals at her core, and the way of life she represents.

Most of America awoke to this on September 11th 2001.


Call it want you want.
Islamo-facists
Radicals
Fanatics
Terrorists

The idea is not disputable, even if we get tied up in the language.


And how has the world fared in the last generation.

Suicide attacks around the world. Every corner of the earth has felt its touch. The US, UK, Spain, and many others.

The US is stuck in never ending occupation wars, trying to fight an enemy with no army, air force, or navy.

And yet, we are losing the war. On the fronts of Culture, Law, and Morale.

How can the average Jihadist feel to awake to see the president of the USA with a Islamic name.

Reverse the role, and imagine the leader of Islamic countries with the name of John Smith.


As we are going down this path of a generational war, between not nations, but ideals. What is the score?


Who is winning?

But more importantly, what will be next...


*(a personal note, this thread was one that pained me more then ever to write, it is a something that tears me to peices... but i am not one to push aside evidence, and reason in favor of self gradification.)
