“Between a strong horse and a weak horse, people will favor the strong horse.” – Osama Bin Laden
The West, specifically the US has returned to the Carter years. This current Administration has probably even taken it a step farther by apologizing
at every turn.
The US has not been involved in a war since WW2…in a legal sense. Everything since then has been termed…conflicts.
From one who has been there and done that and does not want his cup refilled, when you are being shot at, you at war. Regardless of what the
Government says.
In the 80’s and 90’s, the West, led by the US, displayed strength and for the most part, for the West, the world overall was peaceable.
Oh sure, we had the breakup of Yugoslavia, Somalia, The Gulf War, Darfur, etc, etc. But we will always have conflict. That is the way of Mankind. And
that is the way it will always be, at least until aliens invade us.
Now with most countries in a fiscal crisis and all Western leadership in PC mode, the West is seen as weak. And truth be told…we are. At the
moment.
A people can only be attacked so much before they demand retaliation. Muslims feel that they have been attacked for quite some time and are
retaliating. It’s a emotional response.
They had best be careful though as eventually, the West will retaliate as well, in spades. Blowback begets blowback.
Get ready, if cooler heads don’t prevail, sides will be chosen and the end of the world as we know it will begin in spades. And chances are is that
the Islamic world will be left in tatters for at least another 100 years.
The tech is on the West’s side in this one.
I truly hope I am wrong, but at the moment I don't think so.
