Unconditional Surrender vs.
Submission

I do believe that the only ones
who know the true horrors of war are those who actually served and
fought in times of war, as well as I believe that the logistics of
war...the orchestrating of war itself...is best left to the generals
and admirals who have witnessed first hand the horrors of war. Wars
run by politicians tend to either drag on or not end very well in the
end, the Vietnam War being but one such example.And
with that said know that the modern day concept of MAGA...as in “Make
America Great Again”...was founded upon the principals of the
brave men and women who actually did make America great most
especially in times of modern day war. Those like WWII Generals
Dwight D, Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, and George S. Patton, along with Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz, and then President Harry S. Truman, who showed the world not
only America's military strength, but our strength of determination
in that our enemies surrender was to be unconditional and unwavering.
Simply, vacillating was unacceptable as it would appear to be an act
of appeasement...and what is appeasement but a sign of weakness
and/or even a form of capitulation.
America's
strength shown during WWII laid the foundation for the greatness we
as a nation are experiencing now, but even the best laid foundation
can have cracks in it. And while cracks can be fixed...or at least be
surfaced patched...a foundation of greatness built upon fear,
uncertainty, and/or what ifs is something that “We the People” must never accept no matter who our president is, no matter the
party he belongs to, or the ideology of those we find ourselves at
war with.
And
it's this very ideology that complicates the war we (and Israel) are
now fighting for the fact remains that our winning the military
aspect alone is simply not enough, for even with said victory what is
the ideology and mindset of the enemy still holds sway over far too
many folks...that is unless a quantum shift in reality were to take
place. And here I mean a shift centered in what is islamist religious
tenets and misplaced dogma, for this is where the true victory must
take place. Why so...because it's the tenets and dogma of Islam that
started this war...and many other wars...in the first place, and it's
the same tenets and dogma that are denying true and lasting peace to
not only take hold, but to set the Iranian people free.
And,
while Netanyahu understands where the true victory must lie,
President Trump, in my opinion, does not really understand the
mindset of how deeply ingrained the religious indoctrination runs in
those still living with and acted upon a 6th century mindset. And
here, please know that I am NOT...I repeat NOT...talking about the
Iranian people fighting and begging for freedom and an entry into the
21st century civilized world, but I am talking about the islamist
rulers of Iran, and how our president, through no fault of his own,
has misread the islamic culture itself along with its mindset.
And again herein, in my opinion, lies the main problem as most of
President Trump's key advisors also do not understand who and what we
are actually dealing with, because if they did they surely would not now or ever be
negotiating with islamic terrorists. Simply, this fully not understanding
is indeed the main reason for this war...as it is a war not just to stop
Iran's nuclear ambitions but is, in actuality, a war of radical islamic ideologies vs. we in the civilized world. And to complicate the scenario even more so,
it's coupled with Islam's continuing to strive for total world
domination...while our side tends to view “extension after extension”
of deadlines as being the only way forward towards peace.
Peace...in the true sense of the word...cannot happen when the enemy's holy book
is also their primer for war, as common sense and logic has no place
in the discourse, or so the islamic hardliners believe. And that
alone is very telling, because when
the bombs and missiles of war do stop falling...which even in Iran
will eventually be the case...what is left is the fact that the word
“Islam”
itself still means “submission.”
And as long as that is the
accepted and acting upon meaning of said word, hate will continue to
drive the islamists ever forward, thus President Trump must somehow
return to his first proposal for peace being“unconditional
surrender.”
Why
so...because if for nothing else than these words alone, “Fight
those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, nor comply with
what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor embrace the religion
of truth from among those who were given the Scripture,
until
they pay the tax, willingly
submitting, fully humbled.”
- Surah
At Tawbah 9:5
“
Submission,”
“submitting,”
are
but
mere
variations of the same word...yet it's the very word that gives new
meaning to what should now be...and should have always
remained...Iran's “unconditional surrender,” with
extensions
and vacillating back and forth be damned.This
war can truly only end by our side utilizing and capitalizing on the
circumstances by which this war is still unfolding, while accepting
as fact that the misplaced ceasefires were but
temporary times-out that allowed for Iran to regroup and reorganize
to fight yet another day...which unfortunately they have been doing.
Simply,
peace can only be garnered
in the Middle East...a region that has never really known the true
meaning nor application of lasting peace...by the emergence of
definitive victors and losers in both the military as well as
the ideological aspects of this war. And this means that islamists mind-speak itself must be dismantled and reassembled to be more in
line with the century we live in than it is with centuries passed.
Why
so...because in surrendering... in being deemed the loser...the
islamists would them be “submitting”
to their conquerors instead of the conquerors “submitting”
to Islam as the Quran so dictates. Nothing else should be acceptable.
Remember,
a defeated enemy no matter its ideology should never be dictating to
the victor how its war must end. And while a military victory for our
side does
neutralize Iran as a regional power, thus seeing Iran being beaten
into what is referred to as “strategic
submission.”
which in and of itself is very much akin to
“unconditional surrender,” minus
all the revelry that would accompany said
“surrender.” And
while this would allow
Iran
to
at least save a bit of “face”
in the court of international opinion, the bonus for our side... for
western civilization as a whole...would be that what is islamic
driven terrorist actions would then become a quite impotent pariah on the world stage, as the Iranian people would be seeing freedom
taking hold and taking center stage. So
while President Trump, on Saturday, unilaterally cancelled what was
to be the latest Pakistan brokered round of peace talks after his
having rightfully dismissed Iran's latest joke of a peace
proposal...it now becomes obvious that “unconditional
surrender”
is
the
only true resolution to this war. And
why
President Trump ever changed his mind about this will always remain,
for me anyway, a question of who told him to do so and why. Case
closed.
