Descent into barbarism
Each new terrorist atrocity seems to spark another of even more barbaric savagery. One could almost be excused for thinking that the routine beheading of hostages taken by these savages is "normal" in some parts of the world. One would be very wrong - and it is very important to realise that! Unfortunately even the supposedly Right Wing press is now bleating about the "deadly legacy of the war in Iraq". Come on folks - if you have a hornet's nest in the loft, do you leave it to grow? Of course not, you get in the exterminators! So, some of the hornets escape and attack? Do you give up? No, you keep going until you have them all out of there or dead! Unfortunately this isn't the response to the crisis in Russia or the Middle East.
The response to the atrocities of the terrorists from most "liberal" "humanist" quarters is one of handwringing and accusation of the West having "provoked" these misbegotten psychopaths. They lose sight of the fact that, under their twisted moral code, a mass murderer enjoys a life of regulated routine, with all the trappings of comfort permissable for good behaviour in his or her prison cell - and can look forward to release into the community after half of the imposed sentence is served (less if you are a terrorist belonging to a group the Labour Party has labelled "Freedom Fighters" or "Oppressed Minorities") - while their victims are conveniently forgotten - because they're dead or so maimed as to require hiding from society. Predictably this lobby of wimpish, handwringing socialist cretins is already bleating about how all Westerners should pull out of the Middle East, Terrorists should be "invited" to discuss their "grievances" and reach a "settlement". Of course, the evil Western Exploitation of the oil rich nations and the Judeo-Christian conspiracy to "oppress" Islam is also being touted.
It is all very well to sit in London, Paris, Brussels, or anywhere else and blame "American heavy-handedness" for this state of affairs, but it is not entirely the full picture nor is it true. London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin - they have all had a hand in fostering this situation - and now the liberal left who created it don't know how, or probably haven't the guts, to deal with it.
Where is the determination to crush this evil barbarism? Well, don't bother looking to the mob outside the Republican Convention in New York, you won't find anyone there prepared to go out and fight for an end to this aberration. All you will get from the Left Liberal coalition is more cant on the need to avoid "descending to the same level as the terrorists!" Is killing a rabid dog descending to a status of being rabid? I think not; in fact, killing a mad dog is a kindness to the animal, a humane thing to do, as it would, in any case, die horribly if left. So would any human who is unfortunate enough to come into contact with its spittal, or worse, to be bitten by it.
There is only one way to beat terrorism. It must be hunted down without mercy, wherever terrorists are found or captured, they must be expunged from the genepool without sentiment. It is no different to the action of killing a rabid dog, for that is what these psychopaths are.
There must also be the determination to deal as swiftly with those who promote and foster terrorist activities. They are the real cancer, the rogue genes who hide, frequently in high places, and fund and foster the footsoldiers. They, too, must be put out of circulation permanently. There can be no distinction between the psychopath holding the gun or the knife or the bomb and the malignant promoter who keeps his or her hands clean while insidiously funding, hiding, or supplying the terrorist. That "Godfather" is as guilty as the murderer who brings fear and death to a school or to a town centre.
There is only one way to stop this barbarism - that is to deal with it as harshly and as swiftly as necessary to demonstrate once and for all that it will not be tolerated anywhere. These psychopaths and their supporters must be rounded up and put out of the world and the human genepool - permanently. This is one time when "jaw, jaw" simply will not work. The only option is a total war of extermination on all who practice terror as an instrument of politics.
