When discussing a problem, any problem, both parties must determine whether or not they just want to listen to what the other has to say, or are they in fact seeking a solution.
In
a matter of a few weeks the United States will have been at war
in Afghanistan for eleven years. It will be eleven years of death
and destruction endured by both to the Afghan people and
coalition military forces. The war is officially the longest war in
the history of the United State. Americans continue to withdraw their support
for the continuance of the war by growing numbers.
Unfortunately, a startling observation in numbers also show
that even more Americans actually have no interest in the war, one way
or the other. It is those people who consistently show or express very
little interest in receiving information about the day to day acts of
aggression displayed in the war effort. It is those same citizens who seemingly
are not affected by the conduct of the war or any devastating effects as a
result of the war.
The truth is only a very small percentage of the American
people have any direct or indirect connection with what has become a never
ending conflict. As a result of the lack of any sort of negative war effects on
their lives, they give little thought - if any at all- concerning the lives
lost and those grievously wounded (not to mention the everlasting
scars of battle to those never physically harmed in combat, nor the cost in dollars to
which no one would have ever imagined possible eleven years ago).
How long will the American
military continue to be asked to sacrifice so much for the sake of
doing battle in a wicked country for the purpose of propping up an
evil society? It becomes more obvious with every life lost in Afghanistan in
not worth our involvement in an effort to protect muslims from other muslims.
The price Americans have paid or will continue to pay will never be worth the
cost. The United States will never win this war without actually destroying the
entire islamic culture.
In short the United States ultimately will not win this
war by fighting it the way it is being fought. As long as the American
people ignore the war, the conflict will continue to be mired in an idealist (but
false) idea that there exists some moderate muslims who actually can
be persuaded to become allies of other
non-islamic democratic governments.
There is a solution to the
conflict: It is
not an unprecedented solution. The solution has been implemented at
least one time in recent world history - resulting with amazing success. The action taken previously would be the template for today's victory. Basically
the results would be the same; the results would be total domination of the
enemy. I have addressed this solution on more than one occasion in
past comments posted on this blog.
So let's review.
Step 1 - Immediately transfer out all military people, government
employed people, and other American citizens (willing to leave) of
every one of the 57 islamic countries.
Step 2 - Inform all of our allies to do the same.
Step 3 - Once the removal effort had been
completed, all 57 islamic countries would be ordered to have their ambassadors
report to the United States State Department.
Step 4 - The ambassadors of each perspective islamic country
would be ordered, without delay, to surrender all military power and authority
and all national assets to the United States of America. The surrender date for
each country would then be established.
Step 5 - Among the islamic countries refusing
to surrender, a target city or holy site would
be eliminated with the pull of a trigger.
Step 6 - Following the destruction of the city or
cite, any islamic countries not yet having surrendered would be ordered once
again to have their ambassadors report to the United States State Department.
Step 7 - The ambassadors of each perspective islamic country
would be ordered, without delay, to surrender all military power and authority
and all national assets to the United States of America. The surrender date for
each country would then be established.
Step 8 - Among the islamic countries refusing
to surrender, a target city or holy site would
be eliminated with the pull of a trigger.
Note: The process would continue until every islamic countries
(all 57) surrenders to the United States as per the State Departments orders.
Step 9 - All muslims (without exception) living in the United
States, citizens or not, would be ordered to leave America.
Step 10 - The practice of islam as an ideology would be outlawed
from all United State's states and territories.
These ten steps can be fleshed
out, but never watered down. But, as long as American people remain unwilling
to impalement all that encompasses in the 10 steps, the real and
serious threat of terrorism will remain high and become more probable
as time goes forward. Failure to act on the ten steps will unquestionably
result in many more Americans, both civilian and military, losing their lives
to a threat so easily eliminated.
It seems strange to me, given
the islamic uprising in the news this very week (including the murders of high
ranking American government officials) coordinated by muslims from
islamic countries, that America is more interested in apologizing rather
than in destroying. As a result there will continue to be more and more
terrorism directed towards any and all infidels in the
world wherever they live, work or play.
Recent news articles depict little hope for any sort of
victory in any form any time soon if ever:
A Long View of
Afghanistan’s Wars

KABUL,
Afghanistan — One of the most troubling things about the national conversation
about Afghanistan is that it tends to focus almost solely on the decade since
the 2001 American-led invasion.
Forgetting
Afghan war, until death brings it home

Staring out the window of his pickup, slowly trailing
the hearse bearing his brother's body, Will Copes' eyes blurred with tears. In
a few minutes he and his brother would be home, back to a town preoccupied with
the first week of school and plans for weekend barbecues. A place far removed
from an unrelenting, but all too easily forgotten war. Until now.
Why
is the U.S. still in Afghanistan?
By Robert Burns Associated Press
Posted September 11, 2012 at 7:22 p.m.
Why it matters:
Only small numbers of al-Qaida fighters are still in
Afghanistan, and their iconic leader, Osama bin Laden, is long dead. But the
threat they represent is still the main reason Americans are still fighting and
dying there.
The logic goes like this: If U.S. and allied forces
were to leave before the Afghans can defend themselves, the Taliban would
regain power. And if they were in charge, then al-Qaida would not be far
behind.
In that view of what's at stake, al-Qaida would once
again have a launchpad for attacks on American soil.
What's often overlooked in that scenario is an answer
to this question: Why, after so many years of foreign help, are the Afghans
still not capable of self-defense? And who can say when they will get to that
point?
War-weary
US is numbed to drumbeat of troop deaths

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was another week at war in
Afghanistan, another string of American casualties, and another collective
shrug by a nation weary of a faraway conflict whose hallmark is its grinding
inconclusiveness.
Taliban
states US forces face "utter defeat" in Afghanistan and warns American
are unsafe in the world
AFP September 11, 2012 4:48PM
"The anniversary of 9/11 is approaching America
this year at a time when it is facing utter defeat in Afghanistan militarily,
politically, economically and in all other facets and it has exhausted all
other means through which to prolong its illegal war,'' a statement from the
Afghan Taliban, the US-based SITE Intelligence Group said.
The statement, which the Taliban wrote in English and
posted on Sunday, goes on to say that the war in Afghanistan "under the
pretext of retaliation for the September incident has no legal or ethical''
basis, and that Afghans had "no hand'' in what happened.
Even though the United States has spent "large
amounts of military and economical assets'' in the war, "no American is
safe in any society today'', the statement says.
The Taliban also vows to defend its homeland and
continue with its "sacred struggle'' against "the invaders''.
Washing
hands of an embarrassing war
By Simon Tisdall

The latest killings in Afghanistan are a stark reminder
to western leaders of the folly of ignoring the situation in the country.
…these gruesome events, taken together, might sensibly
be seen as another urgent warning to neglectful western politicians that their
policy of gradual, go-slow withdrawal is rapidly unravelling. It is a warning
they may ignore at their peril.
US President Barack Obama and Britain’s Prime Minister
David Cameron have set a departure date for Nato forces of 2014. But the
deteriorating security situation, the rank unreliability or underperformance of
large sections of the Afghan army and police, and the fearful persistence of
the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban may yet force their hand, turning ragged
retreat into slow-motion rout.

Won’t Win Afghan’s Civil War

“A
defeatist position (in Afghanistan) is not possible for us. We cannot leave in
our underpants...or without any.” That was Mikhail Gorbachev addressing senior
Soviet officers in 1987, two years before the Soviets pulled out. Two years
before NATO pulls out, the same frantic search is underway for something that
could be called a victory, or at least “peace with honour”. Meanwhile, NATO
soldiers die, together with many more Afghans.
‘Green-on-Blue’
Attacks in Afghanistan Have Jumped by 10 Per C in Two Years

THE number of so-called “green-on-blue” attacks in
Afghanistan has jumped by more than 10 per cent over the last two years as
Coalition forces prepare to hand over security duties to their Afghan
counterparts in the war-torn nation.
