They are forcing us to contemplate again what we did during WWII, packing them all up and shipping them off to Montana to practice their religion in private, away from the rest of us. We Americans are very definitely racis t and practical enough to do what we did in 1942 again! We're not so stupid as to take racial PC to its absurdity! Not when US blood is at stake, don't you agree?
TERRORISM.
I was impressed with Darla Jaye's show Thursday night after the Ft Hood massacre.... she got a local angle and went with it, and I was moved by one of her callers who cried in his anxiety about his kin who he didn't know at the time if they were okay. Who wouldn't relate to that radio drama?
But Darla did have a problem and it was what did she know and when did she know it. Fact is, we Americans are running fast and loose with the term "TERRORISM". Most Americans don't know what TERRORISM is. It's not WAR. Terrorism is only a strategy of warfare designed for one thing... to scare people into doing something or doing nothing!
Mass murder for religious reasons isn't 'terrorism'. It's just mass murder.
Suicide bombing to disrupt society because you're outgunned by organized military isn't 'terrorism' either. It's just warfare conducted in skirmishes that weaker forces can WIN, one skirmish at a time.Sometimes an effective strategy isn't to conduct mass casualties in a single, decisive battle, but to run up casualties one ambush at a time! Over many months or years. This is how the Vietcong defeated the US...a weak force against a vastly superior and sophisticated military force!
Sorry Darla, war by Muslims against Americans isn't "Terrorism" either. It's just war. Don't stop now... keep following this until you actually get this right!
KMBZ's people need to define "terrorism". They have lots of broadcast hours to hash it out, but my notion of terrorism is that it is just a "TACTIC" to scare and intimidate civilians. To intimidate them to stay inside, or to vote one way or another, or to NOT support a government out of FEAR.
Terrorism is only one thing. To scare the shit out of people. This is not to be confused with warfare. Darla was calling that Ft Hood Major a terrorist way too early.
After all is said and done, maybe he IS, maybe he ISN'T. It all depends on WHY he did what he did. Did he do it to SCARE Americans (that'd be terrorism) or just wage a one-man skirmish in the war of the Jihad (that'd be just warfare, not terrorism).
- She had no clue why he did what he did. Did he do it because he didn't want to go to the Mideast?
- Did he do it because he wanted to scare people in the military (THAT would be terrorism) or was he just a soldier in the Jihad war? That's NOT terrorism, that's just a battle which he won-- and had a casualty count not deniable!
- Or was he just a nutcase wanting to do suicide because he didn't want to go to war and so he wanted to take out as many people as he could..cuz that's the way suicide people are? Not political. Just nuts!
The "God is Great" epithet reported as he started shooting surely does complicate the question, huh? No one accused the French underground in 1944 of terrorism for blowing up bridges carrying German trains. It was just war the only way they could wage it. By bushwhacking against superior Nazi forces!
Bushwhacking isn't terrorism. It's a legal and effective strategy when you have limited resources faced with overpowering military force. Like the French facing the powerful Nazis. Or in Vietnam, the Cong against the Americans. Or the Indians against the Colonists.
Again. NOT TERRORISM. KMBZ people need to define it and quit throwing around the word, willy nilly. Put another way, All Jihads aren't "TERRORISTS". Most of them are just soldiers practicing their warfare strategy of opportunity. Specific military objectives, not civilian terror!
We need a new word.
