The reality is that our schools will be assaulted – and we will see children brutalized, beheaded, raped, and executed before our horrified eyes. We must do whatever it takes, with the maximum use of force and violence, to defeat terrorism. Russia’s experts told Giduck that “terrorism is everyone’s problem,” and every single one of us in America must accept his and her responsibility for dealing with it. There is no political solution that will end this war and bring the insanity to an end - not any time soon, perhaps not ever. We face an implacable and heartless enemy - and we are at war for now and into the foreseeable future. Nothing a politician can say or do can change the course of this clash of civilizations – he or she, at best, can only position us for maximum advantage - or disadvantage, as the case may be.
It’s no accident that we have not been attacked on our soil again these past five years since 9/11. Our troops are fighting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan - in every conceivable way drawing the terrorists of the world into their guns – which has been infinitely better than fighting this unceasing war in our streets. But though our military has engaged the terrorists in the very epicenter of their world, they will stay distracted for only so long. This war against terrorism is a very long war, and we won’t see an end to it any time soon - unless we give up. The ramifications of that are unthinkable - it cannot be an option. The enemies we face have fomented their hatred for generations and their religious fervor them unreasonable and non-negotiable. They do not fear death, they embrace it. They do not fear world-wide public opinion, they scorn it.
As the Russians have already learned the hard way, “Act or wait to die are your only real choices.”
I implore everyone to read this book, and then pass it along. Forward this review to every parent you know or print it out and hand it off. I am personally recommending this book to every person I meet, and have already ordered additional copies to deliver to the Houston and Clear Creek Independent School Districts. It is the least I can do for now – though I fully intend to do much, much more before I’m through*.
