Letting aggressors go or taking a 'cease fire' with a non-Nation State military is asinine as there is *no* recourse to any method to hold them accountable.<BR/><BR/>That is the basis for my <A HREF="http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2006/07/peace-in-middle-east-checklist.html" REL="nofollow">Peace in the Middle East</A> checklist. Deal with non-State military players harshly and without remorse, defund all their support organizations and declare them to be terrorist organizations in and of themselves, and hammer home the concept that if terrorists take up home in your Nation, your Nation is held accountable.<BR/><BR/>Transnationalist concepts from both the Progressivists and Terrorists have combined to get us into this ugly state of things on a global scale. It is time and time past to end that and stop caring about 'how we look to other Nations' or 'root causes' that can never be *found*. Actions are the basis for accountability NOT intent. Support terrorists and you ARE one. That goes for the IRA, FARC, Shining Path, Hezbollah, Hamas, PLO, etc., etc. without respect to Nationality or intention. Threaten civilians without taking up a flag, taking up a uniform and putting forth a government, then you should be a target in that doing.<BR/><BR/>The Nation State has given us the opportunity of Individual Freedom and Liberty.<BR/><BR/>Transnationalists look to destroy that and put in groups and victimhood and equality of results based on that and not on individual effort or worthiness.<BR/><BR/>I don't care where this battle starts, but it MUST be started or everything built up since Westphalia is put at risk. Hezbollah is a great *starting* point. So is Syria. Lots of good places that need to feel the 17th Century of Western Nation State conception brought upon them.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise we will lose it *all*.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-1154407129503689412006-08-01T00:38:00.000-04:002006-08-01T00:38:00.000-04:00As you point out, the problem with any agreement, ...As you point out, the problem with any agreement, even a weak one, is that you have one side which has a history of blatant cheating.<BR/><BR/>And while the U.S. and E.U. and the U.N. hold Israel accountable for implementing agreements, we just throw our hands up when the Islamo fanatics cheat.<BR/><BR/>I'm tired of that game.Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-1154364584647630582006-07-31T12:49:00.000-04:002006-07-31T12:49:00.000-04:00mike - It is humor, but dark humor to say the lea...mike - It is humor, but dark humor to say the least. This would abide by *all* international treaties and conventions and would give *no one* a reason to quibble.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, our idea of what war actually *means* has been so eroded by terrorism that we do not take such solutions seriously. And that will be another support taken out from under the Nation State.... if you cannot legitimately *defeat* an enemy, save by thorough eradication, then rules of warfare become meaningless and useless. Instead of promoting a 'kinder and more civilized' treatment for illegally armed militants, those supporting such are making it almost mandatory to fight such groups to the last individual supporter.<BR/><BR/>Or surrender at any threat so as to harm no one... and be harmed in that doing...<BR/><BR/>Dark, dark humor...A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20372724.post-1154361854217304002006-07-31T12:04:00.000-04:002006-07-31T12:04:00.000-04:00Oh... good for a laugh on Monday.This has got to b...Oh... good for a laugh on Monday.<BR/><BR/>This has got to be comedy!<BR/><BR/>If only these were the terms!Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.com
