Maybe the Western World doesn’t want to exist any longer

I’ve been invited to post here, and these days are troublesome…and each day moreso.

Trying to collect my thoughts, when each day seems to expose a new point of how we have subconsciously told oursleves (the “western” world part) that we are not fit to exist.

How?  By averting our eyes, by purposefully pretending there is not evil, by, in the face of all evidence to the contrary, thinking “talking” still has a place in the toolkit of diplomatic methods.

War is the extension of diplomacy by other means.  Some would consder it a last option, others would view it as a tool with specific applications, to be considered carefully, but put into play when the time arrives.  Carl von Clausewitz wrote an entire book on this, and it still applies.

Iran is a nation that is no longer anation.  It is a system of combined social, economic, political and religious life adhering to what we in the enlightened West think are 4 major, capable of being compartmented portions of a society.  It is not.  To think it is is a delusion, and a view through a set of filters of our own much mentioned “sepaearation of Church and State.  In Islam, there is no separation, it just is the sum and whole, indivisble, without liberty for the masses, especially when the moniker of a “soverign nation” can be wrapped around it, so we in the west, somehow consider it to be a legitimate nation of good standing in the community of the Nations.

Here’ we are.  Jimmy Carter set us on this path, and the President’s n between mostly contained the damage.  President Obama seks to let the bad behavior run amok.

It is clear.  Iran is going to drive the message of Islam, even that of a very minor faction of the religion, down the throats of humanity, despite the pain, suffering, and death, and honestly, the hell on earth it will cause.

“Peaceful” must mean “when all are subdued under Shar’ia” when the Iranian leadership speaks of developing “nuclear power” for peaceful purposes  President Obama thinks he can talk them into stopping.  Not a chance.

So, now we find out they are working on the triggering mechanism of a bomb, critical technology they must harness.  How shall we treat this?  We have put off, and put off, and put off even “engagement,” at their request.  The time has been used to move closer to the end game of becoming a nuclear power, with stated intentions to use it, and where it will be used:  Against Isreal, and “The Great Satan”  That’s the US….

We’re in the cross hairs.  Our President doesn’t seem to comprehend the gravity of the situation.

I know the question is:  “Why do we have to be the World’s Police Force?

Because we are able to be, and no one else is willinf or able to be.  Do you want that blood on your hands?

Think of it this way:  If we are politically and militarily “decapitated,” by our own actions and thiers, then who shall stand in the gap in defense of freedom and human rights?  No one.  No one will be able to, and they shall cower in fear of the same fate, while staying alive long enough to be ruled by a brutal ideology, that will subjugate them anyway.

I’m meet you at the Gates of Vienna.  We’re being called there once more.  History is about to repeat itself, or not, depending on the courage left in the West.

Final Thought:  There is nothing new under the Sun.
