So everyone understands that ending the war with nukes resulted in unconditional surrender of a murderous government, the establishment of a strong and stable democratic government, and one of the strongest economies in the history of the world.
Why don’t we fight the current war this way? Why do we not fight to win not “hearts and minds” but an overpowering desire to stop fighting and join the modern world?
In Afghanistan and Iraq, we made the same mistake by not dictating that religious thought (no more “the Emperor is a diety”) has no place in the constitution or government process and that continued support of/for resistance results in massive death and destruction.
We are currently fighting insurgencies that are supported by the people of the countries that we supposedly defeated. Unless we make it clear that support for the insurgents will results in massive destruction, it will continue until, as in Vietnam, we give up and come home.
I’m not advocating that we use nukes in Iraq or Afghanistan, but I am suggesting that we fight more to win the war and less to win the hearts and minds of the other side.
We don’t need their hearts and minds, we need them to quit attacking us, and we need their oil to keep our economy running. The rest is just liberal/multicultural BS.
