Will The Last American With Common Sense Please Close The Door Behind Them?
The US involvement in WW2 was precipitated by a massive attack on Pearl Harbor, which left over 2000 people dead. Soon thereafter, the US declared war on Japan, and Japanese living in the US were forced into internment camps because of the risk of damage that a few might be able to carry out if allow to roam the US.
In WW2, the US pulled out all the stops and ruthlessly attacked the agressors. The people of the agressor nations were devastated, and future agressors knew on no uncertain terms that the US was a force they didn't want to wake up. The Soviet Union didn't even rattle it's sabers until it had a nuclear arsenal, and never had any desire to meet the US on the field of battle, even though they outnumbered the US at least 10 to 1 in every major weapon type and troop count.
The US involvement in global terrorism was precipitated by a massive attack on the Twin Towers in New York, on September 11, 2001, which left over 3000 people dead. Soon thereafter, the US declared war on "terrorism". Nothing is being done about middle easterners or Muslims living in the US, for fear of political retaliation. Politicians don't like being called "racists", even when the charge is untrue.
In this war on terror, the US is trying to fight a "kinder, gentler" war. Aggressor nations are negotiated with and given economic and financial support, even though they've made their intentions clear - they want the US brought to it's knees. The US isn't really a threat, and is easily ignored. It's leaders are cowed by political correctness and fear of being labled.
Iran has nuclear weapons, as does North Korea, and each act in defiance of the US, and the world. Everyone knows damn well that each of those nations has no love for the US, and would be ecstatic to see one of their nukes make it into a US city.
The US doesn't protect its borders, even though it knows that someday a horrific terrorist attack will come from those who cross those same borders. Muslims and Middle Easterners are given no heightened scrutiny anywhere, even though it's clear that members of that religion and culture were, and are, behind most terrorist attacks around the world.
Neither terrorists, nor the people that support them (implicitly or explicitly) have any reason to change their behavior, because they know the US will do nothing.
