The posts of the Hawkmoons usually warn that in the face of something they claim is an "end-of-civilization threat" we have to do something, even if it's wrong.
Now there you go again.. twisting the facts, and twisting what I'm saying.
I've never said that the Islamo-Fascists represent an "end of civilization threat".
But I have stated that what we have here is a threat that potentially rivals the rise of Nazism, or at least communism, both of which cost the lives of millions of innocent people before they were snuffed out as a viable ideology.
I have little doubt that Islamo-Fascism will ultimately fail as an ideology. But that could be 20-50 years from now and I'm particularly keen on seeing the youth of this country, or even the youth of the Middle East, torn asunder because people LIKE YOU scoffed at the threat when you had in your power to pre-empt it.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!
We have the power, the justification (9/11 and other terrorist acts), and the moral authority to advance the cause of democracy and economic modernism as a foil for the VERY SAME EFFORTS by Islamo-Fascists to advance THEIR CAUSE in the Mid-East.
Many people, including Winston Churchill, foresaw the threat that the rise of Hitler presented. But close minded and indifferent people with the same mindset you display chose NOT TO CONFRONT HIM. They waited.. They appeased... They attempted to ignore him... They said that it was Europe's problem.. They said we shouldn't be involved.
But in the end we COULD NOT AVOID BECOMING INVOLVED. And hundreds of thousands of the cream of American youth had to pay the price.
I really don't want to see the same thing happen again just because people like you can't be bothered to recognize that the Islamo-Fascists will no be "wished away"...
They have oil (Iran).. And they have the potential capability of upsetting the balance of power in the region by overthrowing the Saudis and Iraq's fledgling democracy (which would give them even more oil).
And one only has to look to Chavez in Venezuela, to see what they will do with that power, once they achieve it. They will not need to raise great armies to defend themselves. They need only to threaten to curtail oil shipments.
While in the meantime they will fanaticize the muslim population throughout the region and find millions of young martyrs to send in waves to terrorize those nations that seek to oppose them.
But in the end, they will be defeated. And if we're required to wait until even people like you have no choice but to admit that we must wage a major war against them, then we'll find ourselves occupying the heartland of Islam, requiring millions of soldiers and TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS in wasted economic production to accomplish it.
Millions of Americans and Europeans will find themselves under arms and occupiers of the Muslim world.. And thousands of them will die as a result.
All because you couldn't be bothered to face the truth.
AGAIN.. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!!!
Now even you have no excuse for misquoting me again..
