In Afghanistan as in Iraq, Bush has prohibited the US military from unleashing their full might and crushing the enemy; instead choosing to sacrifice US wealth, lives and security by engaging the US in a protracted, sensitive, politically-correct, self-sacrificial, non-war. This is exactly what the moral code of altruism demands, the sacrifice of self to others. Bush, as a good Christian, is doing just that.
Not only has the execution of the Afghan and Iraqi wars been crippled by altruist ideology, the real threat to the US, Iran, has been left untouched and even stronger. Worse, the US has permitted Iran to arm, train and provide intelligence and financial support to the terrorist groups in Iraq, groups that are slaughtering our troops with Iranian technology.
If we had a truly moral foreign policy, that act alone would have been treated as an act of war and should have guaranteed Iran’s destruction. But we don’t, and the Mullahs in Iran have seen that (thanks to relativism and the multiculturalist assault) the US doesn’t have the conviction that freedom is better than theocracy, and consequently the US lacks the moral courage to utterly destroy it’s deadly enemies.
Now that Iran is aggressively pursuing nuclear weapons the threat is grave indeed. Iran has made it clear that it regards the US as it’s mortal enemy, “The Great Satan”, and it has demonstrated it is prepared to wage war against us, and in fact has been waging a low intensity war against the US since the hostage taking in ‘79. With it’s tentacles reaching to almost every terror group around the world, an Iran with nuclear technology is intolerable. Unfortunately Bush and the Democrats have shown they will turn their cheek to any threat to the US, or shower it with aid in an attempt to appease it, e.g. North Korea.
The only question remaining is: how long before a nuclear weapon is detonated on US soil?
This is an epic battle between Civilization and Barbarism, between Enlightenment Reason and Dark Ages primitive superstition, between life and death. How just is it to pull punches and appease these ghoulish jihadis and their supporters? Where’s the justice for their victims, those that have been oppressed, tortured and beheaded? And most importantly, where’s the justice for us, who are ultimately the target of the jihadis. Our government has an obligation to crush these threats by whatever means necessary, and now.
