WHEN HAWKS RUN

WHEN HAWKS RUN March 14, 2006 -- CAN the War on Terror be won? America's inability to secure a victory in Iraq against the insurgency suggests to many people of good will and good sense that it really can't be. They believe the enemies of the United States are motivated by a force more powerful than we reckoned - by a religious ideology that has seduced hundreds of millions of people who prefer its stark certainties to the ambiguities and confusions of Western bourgeois life. We can't beat it, they say, and we can't join it. So what is left for us? Just to say "the hell with them." Richard Lowry's very important piece in the new issue of National Review is about the "to-hell-with-them hawks." They are, in Lowry's words, "conservatives who are comfortable using force abroad, but have little patience for a deep entanglement with the Muslim world, which they consider unredeemable, or at least not worth the strenuous effort of trying to redeem."

Well certainly we can't win the WOT as we're operating now. We mince words, we're afraid of offending Muslims, we want to sell our ports to the UAE, we want to play by silly rules of engagement.

There is only one way to win the WOT. Toss aside all the p/c crap and declare a scorched earth policy. If terrorists attack in an area, lay waste that area. Take no prisoners unless you want to torture some for Intel.

We have to be more ruthless then the terrorists. The terrorists have to fear the US. As it is now the terrorists laugh at the US. This is the end game of the war Islam has been engaged in with the rest of the world since the 7th century. The pawns are falling and we are maneuvering our king into an untenable position.
