The Fallacy of Failing to Kill the Enemy

Washington, DC (TLS). Although the work we are doing in Iraq is absolutely necessary in fighting the War on Terror, there is no doubt that the Bush Administration made some tactical errors.

Rule Number One in waging war is that we are fighting our enemy because they have sworn to kill us. Therefore, we must kill them first.

This is a basic tenet in any scenario involving self-defense on any level, both personally and corporately as a society.

The Bush Administration made the mistake in thinking it could bring democracy to a region that is overrun by dangerous extremists who don't believe in it. The Koran specifically forbids it and states that the rule of Allah must be implemented within all societies, thus making them theocratic rather than democratic.

Thus, the nations of the Middle East who have embraced the notion of 'free elections' have proceeded to elect themselves right back into tyranny under the rule of extremist factions of Islam. Thomas Jefferson referred to this as 'elective despotism,' which he viewed as a constant danger to liberty. The objective, therefore, is not simply free elections or 'democracy' with no set guidelines to prevent majority rule from running roughshod over basic individual rights.

This is why the United States has a Constitution with a Bill of Rights to prevent the mob rule of a pure democracy from electing to take away individual rights.

Instead of working for free elections in a highly volatile area of the world that is populated with millions of persons who wish to annihilate the West, we should have first killed them.

Yes, that sounds harsh, but it is a basic, irreversible rule of war and self-defense.

To keep your enemy from killing you, which he has sworn to do, you MUST kill him first. Kill or be killed.

The War on Terror should have commenced with a massive, swift, and violent campaign to stop the terrorists in the Middle East by reigning the power from America's mighty arsenal upon them relentlessly. Then, once they were dazed and weakened, and lying in massive piles of rubble, we start the rebuilding process, just as we did in Japan after WWII.
