Mourning the victims of a Theo-ideology.
Today the world reacted in horror at the massive terrorist attack in Belgium, the headquarters of the EU, and a country losing its identity to a rising tide of exclusionary refugees, who refuse to assimilate, who have created NOGO zones in Brussels, and many other large cities in Europe. We hear a lot of rattling sabers, which is typical, and maybe one of these times ISIS will be caught off guard by a real and enduring reaction.
Meanwhile, out of range of the screams coming from the political gulags in Cuba, the President of the United States, the absentee leader of the free world, took in a ball game, hanging out with someone who would not agree with the motive for the attack, but would certainly agree with the end result. The President had disgraced his office the previous day by setting a photo op in front of a monument to a sociopathic, murderous terrorist that would have smiled on the acts of ISIS. He did take a moment, to talk briefly about the attack, before getting back to smiling on the US bashing from the now leader, and brother of a man who took a paradise and turned it into a hell hole, the true expression of socialism.
Speaking of ISIS. Here is a clue. When someone uses the term ISIL, you know they are no friend of Israel, and may even be an anti-Semite. They will offer up the obligatory "we support Israel" comment, right before blaming them for everything, or blather on about a two state solution, that allows Israel to go back to indefensible borders, with the other state maintaining a position that Israel should be eradicated from the face of the earth. The L in ISIL refers to the Levant, which includes all of the coastal regions from Turkey to Egypt.
I suspect that if we had fought World War II the same way we are fighting ISIS, we would be speaking Deutsch. And saying Heil Hitler III. The Israelis have gone to incredible lengths to minimize collateral damage in its dealings with the Palestinians. If you have read history, then you know that we bombed the crap out of Germany. We tried to focus on manufacturing and military targets, but the pictures that came out of Germany, and Japan, show that civilians died, culminating in the thousands that died with the atomic bombs on Japan. We must not judge those that made those decisions. We weren't there. Today, it is war, or not. IF war, then total, ugly, decisive war against ISIS is essential. If not, then out, period. Not half measures. We go, or not. Either way, we are done trying to build laboratories of democracy in the world.
