In this age of terror it seems strange the decisions we must make. How far do we go to take on this threat? If we go to far can we go back? If we don't go far enough what happens? Arguments on both sides of this issue are worth debating.
I want to talk about the one issue that can't be debated (intelligently) anymore.
These aren't Nazi's or the Soviets. They wanted power. When you want power
you have to be alive to get it. They were secular. They didn't believe in a higher power. They didn't have anything beyond this world to strive for. Their prize was
earthly in nature. They cared about their own existence. Iran, Al-qaeda, Hezbollah and all the others that I can't think of , don't. Iran for instance believes
that the Twelfth Imam, their Messiah, has to return so that he can set up his kingdom. Anybody care to know how that is supposed to come about? A worldwide Holocaust on the infidel's. Yeah, that's us. They have to cause World War III to bring their Messiah back. How do you keep that from happening then?
Maybe if we can summon the Imam we can make peace with him. What I am trying to say is this. They're are going to do their best to kill us no matter what we do. Even if we wanted to negotiate we don't possess what they want. Joel Rosenberg is an author and was an official under the Israeli Defense Minister.
He's met with U.S. high level officials on this subject. He said our leaders don't know what to do about Iran. Iran isn't conventional. Hezbollah is along the same lines. The son of the man who started Hezbollah, who has left Islam and his country forever because he became a Christian said this "The West has only one thing that the terrorists want and that is your death. If you don't stop them they will never stop. They are never going to stop." Enough said. How strong is our resolve? Are we willing to do the tough things? We better! I don't want torture.
In the right instances though then we need to go for it. I am ashamed of the folks in this country who think it should never be used under any circumstance. Waterboarding is torture? We can't do that either because that's not what we stand for? We can't go blow the hell out of them and not torture because of the innocents that might be lost? So we won't do anything at all to stop them because that's what we stand for? Not even wire tap their phones? God help those folks when the next terrorist attack occurs. Better run for the hills. We've waterboarded our own people to show them what it's like and videotaped it to boot! We've gotten plenty of info from this action and saved MANY lives because of it. Take away this tool and you're a fool. The terrorists should be so lucky. If someone was attempting to hurt me,my wife,my friends,my country and fellow Americans...I'd send them to see the chairman...The Chairman of the Waterboard.
