Here’s a wacky idea. Let’s win the war against our jihadi enemies.
Yeah, it’s certainly an outside the box idea. All we hear right now – in fact, all we’ve heard for decades – is about peace processes and negotiations and ceasefires. On and on they go, one after another, always crashing on the rocks of intransigence by people who hate our allies and who hate us. Maybe we need some fresh new ideas, some outside-the-box thinking.
How about we and our allies destroy our enemies? After all, the best peace plan is victory.
Wait, hear me out. You know, it wasn’t that long ago that we Americans and our allies won wars. Sure, it’s unfashionable to talk about winning today, but we have much to learn from history. And history teaches that if you pummel your enemies into submission, they tend to submit and stop trying to murder you and your kids.
I’m not necessarily talking about emulating the original Middle East peacemakers, the Romans, who got tired of Carthage’s attitude and leveled the city, killed the men, sold the women and children into bondage and sowed the fields with salt. But then, on the other hand, we haven’t had a lot of problems with the Carthaginians in the last couple millennia.
Let’s look closer to our own time. Ulysses S. Grant famously refused to accept anything accept unconditional surrender, and set about grinding his Confederate opponents into dust. General Grant was quite popular around the old Schlichter family place, the rebels having burned down the town of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where my family lived. Note that Chambersburg hasn’t been burned down since.

And “Total Victory” includes reducing the Kaaba to rubble.
“Win?!” “Victory?!?!!!?”
How JUDGMENTAL!!!
Finally some light at the end of that tunnel.
Our enemies are not playing to lose.
Why should we?
Big money perpetuates war so it ain’t gonna happen.
“The Key To A Lasting Middle East Peace Is Total Victory……”

There is always a substitute for victory as Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, and Li’l Obama have shown.
A fair deal, hoping for change, that a great society should have refused, on its way forward.
