 Evidently we are supposed to believe that the war on terror will be won or lost by indiscriminately invading any country that harbor terrorist that isn’t named Saudi Arabia.
But, what if, just what if, what you are fighting isn’t a country but an ideology. What if you are fighting a way of thinking? Are we prepared for that?
How do you crush an ideology?
Certainly history has proven you don’t do that by force.
Did the Inquisition, designed to rid the world of heretics i.e. non-Catholics, rid the world of every other interpretation of the Bible but Catholicism?
If John Hinckley Jr. would’ve been successful in killing Ronald Regan, would he have rid America once and for all of Republicans?
Clearly killing Reagan wouldn’t have stopped the spread of conservatism any more than killing Bin Laden is going to stop the spread of Islamic fundamentalism.
Apparently the American people believe that by making the United States of America even more hated in the world than we ever were before 9-11 is actually the winning formula making us safer from terrorism.
Evidently making it even easier for al-Qaeda to recruit by giving a young disenfranchised Muslim man every reason in the book to believe we are in bed with Israel and out to rid the earth of Islam is making us safer.
Since Dubya has started his war on terror significant jihadist attacks worldwide has in fact increased at an accelerated pace.
Recruiting is up. Anger towards the US world-wide is up. And more importantly, probably most importantly, we have done virtually nothing to undermine what they have been saying about us.
All people follow a certain logic when they are drawing conclusions. That doesn’t change no matter what culture you come from. It’s a human thing.
What we have to understand is that you have to understand the logic your enemy is using against you, find the holes and tear it apart, if you have any hopes at all of defeating terror.
Terror is bigger than the terrorist. The ideology will continue on even if you kill every single terrorist that is alive today if you don’t do something about the premises that breeds that level of discontent.
Pro-Life terrorists aren’t going to stop abortions by bombing abortion clinics.
You will only stop abortions but undermining the arguments for having one.
The only way you defeat an enemy that is ideologically opposed to you is to undermine the persuasivness of their argument.
This is the only way you can neuter their ability to gather new initiates.
If they can replenish their ranks just as fast or faster than you can kill them, you are just spinning your wheels.
These terrorist are small but highly organized groups that have built an ideology based on certain beliefs that they believe to be self-evident.
If you are serious about fighting terror, the last thing you do is go around validating the premises they have built against you, if you can help it.
If he says that we are an enemy of Islam, build them a mosque.
Remember people work on logic.
Terrorist have won the sympathy of the people by providing much needed goods and services that were not reaching the people.
I find it funny that your typical conservative who is willing to spend 229 billion blowing them up isn’t willing to spend 229 billion building schools, building mosques and providing medicine and food.
Because I guess that’s “being a pussy,” that is why.
I guess its “being a pussy” trying to think of ways of asphyxiating the premises of terrorist ideology where it starts.
I can hear them now “building al-Qaeda a mosque would be giving in to their demands.”
No one ever said build al-Qaeda a mosque. I said build the people a mosque, make it harder for them to sell the story that we are hell bent on wiping Islam off the face of the Earth.
Then again, what do I know?
I am sure conservatives would tell you that building them a mosque would be encouraging them to send a plane into one of our skyscrapers every time they wanted something.
The last thing the world needs are more people of color looking for a hand out.
