I liken War and Terrorism to the bullies I met growing up. They respond to only one message. You can’t reason with them, you can’t bribe them for long, and you can’t let time pass and hope they will go away.
When a bully hauls off and hits me, I don’t spend time wondering about his or her motivation, what their frame of reference was growing up, whether they were abused, or have a mental disability. It really doesn’t matter. The one thing they respond to is immediate and overwhelming force. When I hit back, I do not stop until the bully can no longer move. I don’t hit once, I don’t poke at him or her, push him or her and hope they wont hit me again.
Words are not going to change the dilemma of having a lone gunman or several gunmen shooting innocent people. Disarming the law abiding populace is not going to prevent mass shootings. France outlaws guns and yet the ak-47 or similar arms were readily available to those terrorists.
No, we need to make it very expensive for any terrorist to kill innocent people. We need security, metal and bomb detection equipment, and trained security people on the premises in large open venues. We achieve it at stadiums where you have to have your bags checked at the entrances, and we can achieve it at smaller venues.
We need to use common sense and quit succumbing to political correctness and the subjugation of the United States of America from the inside. If we cannot vet the people coming to the United States, then they are not allowed in our country.
If United States citizens frequent any venue where hate toward our way of life is espoused, then they become people of interest to the FBI and we do not set an arbitrary time limit on how long they can be investigated. When U. S, citizens go to a foreign country to fight for a sect like ISIS or Al Queda, they renounce their citizenship and are to be treated as enemy combatants.
We will not be able to totally stop all radical islamic terrorist violence in the United States or any other country, but we can make public venues more secure and like air marshalls on airlines, provide security in every venue so the carnage is reduced. Armed security on the premises will reduce the number of people who might be killed.
The ultimate solution is not defensive. The best winning solution is to irradicate the enemy. The only way to do that is to go on the offensive.
Success is what draws idiots to ISIS. If we take them out where they live with overwhelming force, and we take their methods of receiving oil, money, food, clothing, and manpower, noone will want to join them or be associated with them.
The real solution to the bully and ultimately to any war or terrorist is to strike first. When we find them, and when we know where and who they are, they have to be irradicated. It is the only solution that counters radical ideology.
