The KEY to the PROTRACTED conflict, Patsy, is NOT convincing the hearts and minds on the primitive "Arab Street". THAT is Carvillesque propaganda at its worst.
The KEY is showing that we can destroy their backward, murderous, superstitious "friendly" countries' regimes with increasingly less-expensive operations, casualties on OUR side approaching zero, and a ZERO probability of failure.
We have allowed weak-minded opinion to convince us that nuclear weapons are not, for some reason, just another weapon in the arsenal. The mistake of accepting that cost us 60,000 lives, and much political turmoil, in the era of Vietnam.
But that was a long time ago, and it's all water over the dam. Don't want to use nukes on terrorist nations? OK, we'll build a military machine that is so efficient and invincible that it can destroy a Syrian, North Korean or Iranian power structure before lunch, with no casualties to our side, leaving a vacuum for our occupation (i.e., neo-colonial) forces to move in and be at work administrating the new colony by sundown.
What? The terrorists can build their own nukes? No PROBLEM! The SDI has ALREADY been deployed, and, like our conventional forces, improves exponentially with each passing year, under an administration that is NOT populated by people who believe American power is a danger to the world.
All we gotta do at home is stay diligent. November, 2004 will be a demonstration of public diligence. LET'S ROLL!!!.
Let's ALSO give credit where credit is due, and call it the Bush Doctrine... |
