Military Blog: When Is Enough Enough?
The terrorist attack in India this week was another act of war against the west. The terrorists came on a suicide mission preying on tourists with the primary emphasis on Brits and Americans. This act signifies jihad is alive and more importantly, exposes the terrorist cell’s ambition in becoming more organized for ground assaults on civilians. The “soft” targets were clearly mass populated defenseless enclaves of tourist, business, medical, and religious pockets. The terrorists were indiscriminate in their assault, killing women, children, elderly and a rabbi. Terror in its true definition.
These terror networks are very difficult to eliminate. The suicide killers are from varied countries with no connection to a central government. Their ideology directs their purpose, which makes the war on terror much more elusive. But all origins keep coming back to one region: the Poshtun region of the uncontrolled tribal areas in Pakistan. The area where Osama bin Laden is said to be hiding. This is where extremism is breeding hate, war, and jihad against all nations. Human life of other ideologies is their enemy. This is a fact of life.
The time has come for all nations to demand Pakistan eliminate this threat. The diplomacy of respecting sovereignty is being compromised into a confrontation with one of its’ neighbors if evidence indicates governmental agency involvement in the latest terrorist attack. This small region could be the cause of a third world war if diplomatic efforts are bypassed. Two nations with nuclear weapons at their disposal. With the global economic crisis, global regional tensions, and religious and ideological differences, the world is ripe for global conflict. Pakistan must eliminate this breeding ground now! What do you think? Does the latest terrorist attack give us justification to invade this region without U.N. or Pakistani approval to rid these extremist once and for all?

The Republicans have allowed this terror cell to exist. Invading Iraq was contrived from the beginning. All our military resources were used in Iraq, leaving al quida to fester. Sure we have to win, but was has it cost us? Our treasury, our economy, and young lives. What are we winning anyway? Freedom, democracy? If we would have gone after al quida like we should have, Iraq would be taking care of Iran on the nuclear issue right now. They were bitter enemies until our illustrious president decided to make Iraq a democracy. What a novel idea. So now we have two countries that can become a formidable force. Barack Obama is our only chance of repairing what took eight years to destroy. We need to get out of Iraq first, and invade.
