The thing about power is some people have it and some people don't. That is what it is all about. How do you get power? By doing what others are afraid to do. They know they couldn't do what you do and they accept that you have that power over them. It is PLAIN to them that they can not accomplish what you can accomplish. Leaders are leaders for precisely that reason. In the world today the United States is not only a world power...but she is the ONLY Super-power. She shares that status with Britain because Britain is UNQUESTIONably a true friend..not just an Ally... a friend. Germany and France are simply Allies. What is the power structure of the world going to be like in twenty or in fifty years. Is Germany going to be any more powerful than she is..is France? But Britain and the United States...two brothers who stand above all other nations on Earth. Power. And you only get it by taking it. The United States is going to win. And when we do win...where will you be? Don't be in the corner. And you will be in the corner if you stay on the sidelines. France is not a world leader. Germany is an oompah-pah. Britain is a player and she will also be a winner.
Britain and her traditions and high value for Law and Justice., real justice are unique in the world. America tries to measure up to the standard Britain sets. For dynamism and frankness and creativity, few , if any can compare to the United States. Britain once had an Empire, and a fine one it was. America is building an empire..but it doesn’t fit well all the time. But the world could do a lot worse than the models of America and Britain. It could have been Nazi Germany. It could have been the Stalinists. Thank god for your grandfather and his ability to slog and punch and sacrifice. That man saved us all.
It is fashionable for intellectuals in this day and age to criticize the West and its values. Intellectuals and liberals criticize how we got here. Well, to give them a point or two, sometimes it wasn’t very pretty or honorable. So what else is new? Human nature being what it is we are lucky to have done as well as we have. Say a prayer and mean it.
There is a new challenge out there today and it means business. They will kill us if they can. They have made that patently and obviously plain. They mean to kill us. They mean to kill our civilization and our values. They believe that everything the West has constructed, conducted, and conceived is bloated, sick and wrong. They have another model…it is called Islam. They use our own values against us when they can..and there are a lot of weak people who call themselves intellectuals who do not put up much of a struggle. The Islamist is our enemy. Pure and simple we can not come to an accommodation with him. We can not live together in the same world. He means to see us dead.His sense of Justice uses our sense of Justice to damn us to hell. The word.”imperialist” is no longer reserved for the explicitly exspansionst aspirations of a Saddam Hussein, an Idi Amin, or Sudan’s Al Bashir…but for the supposedly coercive practices implicit in normal global trade. We are prosperous therefore we are damned. Envy and hatred replace hard work in Islamist justice. And while the West is damned for its building a better life for all its classes and for its freedoms the Third World is praised in shameless disregard for its harsh and brutal rulers. The model of the Taliban is held up as TRUE ISLAM. The corrupt and venal Saudis are the protectors of all righteousness. They also are held up as a model of what Islam really means. Take a good look at Saudi.
Osama Bin Laden commanded in his 1998 fatwa to”kill Americans and their allies…civilian and military..as an individual DUTY for every MUSLIM”. Every American, the old, the young, the women and the children…all Americans. And it is becoming increasingly plain that while most Muslims do not openly support his speeches…they express sympathy for his cause. A great many people lack the moral courage to respond to this threat…to see plainly what they have to do if they want to survive. Many weak kneed people whine and apologise for the acts of the Palestinians, for example. They accept moral relativism and don’t see that to do so allows the enemy to crouch closer to their own families. If a Palestinian will kill Jewish children…he will kill your children also.
It is very simple, these people need to be eliminated permanently. They will kill you and your children. The Palestinians are a threat to everyone. We need to face the facts and accept the truth…we are going to have to defend ourselves or die. And anyone who gets in our way is a threat to our survival. Anyone who falters or cringes or backs away from the necessary shedding of blood is a coward and a traitor. In combat we can not afford to allow such people to endanger our lives.
We need to proceed without remorse. We have to drive the knife in up to the hilt and twist it hard, and lean on it. We need to do it a |
