The most effective and successful campaign...Indeed. The most effective and successful campaign of the Iraq war - fallujah -was disparaged at the time. Something like 10,000 Iraqis may have died in the operation, but, if even 2000 of these were Islamists, the operation was worthwhile. As you say, We flattened Nazi cities and America decimated Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese were less of a direct threat to the West than Islamism is today. The West really must rediscover its moral confidence.David - defendthemodernworldhttp://www.defendthemodernworld.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117781049758667108.post-60275472022911964892013-02-05T21:46:56.885+00:002013-02-05T21:46:56.885+00:00I concur with your feeling.
During the Iraq war (...I concur with your feeling.<br /><br />During the Iraq war (regardless of whether one agrees with it or not), when I repeatedly heard people protesting about the number of Iraqis killed, I remember many times thinking: why not so many complained about, for instance, the people of Dresden, several tens of thousands of innocent civilians killed during the Second World War? Bomber Harris, the man chiefly responsible for it, had a statue erected to him in 1992.Enza Ferrerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475073866356059265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117781049758667108.post-15277664241468624072013-02-04T16:24:16.738+00:002013-02-04T16:24:16.738+00:00Unfortunately with regard to Iran, nobody dares me...Unfortunately with regard to Iran, nobody dares mention the scale of what needs to be done. People (unlike in 1939) are afraid of taking enemy lives. Iran has a para-military force of 5 million. These must be eliminated, preferably from the air, including with the long-overdue use of 'mini-nukes'. I also back the unlimited use of nuclear weapons on Pakistan to protect India. Egypt must also be dealt with, as must Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. If millions of Europeans had to die to protect the world from the Nazis, why are these Islamists to be spared? Are European lives worthless?David - Defendthemodernworldhttp://defendthemodernworld.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
