So AQ is perhaps on its sixth phase regarding the mass murder of the filthy Kaffirs, and 9/11 shifted America from phase one (taking no heed whatsoever of Islam’s wide ranging war against us) to phase two: slightly noticing. This isn’t to minimize the shattering loss of our heroic soldiers, or the spending of staggering treasure to “win hearts and minds. But I remain skeptical that much we have done will secure anything approaching a lasting stasis between us and them which leaves our side unmolested by the Muslims.

Islamic Jihad is, after all, a multifarious endeavor to spread Islam and subvert “infidel” systems until they are destroyed or subborned to Islam. When the going gets tough this Islamic sewage, they may temporarily show an organic reticence to give vent to their full impulse towards the genocide of us. But that impulse remains in any event. Any turning away from that full impulse may be good, I suppose, but what have we done to actually defeat it? I suggest very little.

What may prove far far worse for us in the long run is the extreme likelihood that after temporarily rolling back the most violent tactics Islam nurtures and is prepared to unleash against us, that America will revert back into our phase one mentality. What does it auger for us if we simply (and temporarily) roll back the direct genocide impulse of Muslims, and leave entirely intact those other aspects of Jihad with which they are subverting us?

It means we will allow them to gain far more footholds, far more launching points, and far more foot soldiers within our camp the next time their cherished dreams of our genocide resurrect. In short, we will have accomplished little more than a brief respite in the violent pacing of the Islamic onslaught, and will have done much to strengthen those less overtly violent aspects of Jihad!
