The answer is sober and straightforward: yes, we could be defeated! The United States is currently involved in ideologically charged battle, with no end on a horizon, and many unpleasant surprises ahead! We have lost people, we have lost property. The U.S. Government had not been either vigilant enough to prevent the devastating terrorist event of 9/11, no take strategic advantage of own success in early stages of military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
We shall witness new terrorist attacks against the Unites States both, domestically and abroad, because terrorists never stop their sinister actions by themselves. We shall witness new terrorist attacks, because terrorists never satisfied with what they already accomplished. We shall witness new terrorist attacks, because terrorists see an ambiguity of our political elites reflecting anti-terrorist ideological immaturity of own constituencies, and therefore, incapable of decisively combating Terrorism and stopping terrorists from attacking the Nation.
Terrorists inevitably will perform more horrible inhuman acts until we finally learn how to fight this obscure ideologically charged terrorist warfare, and eventually win it. However, at the present moment it is far ahead in Future! The problem is that terrorists are ready for a next strategic move, and we are not ready to protect our own population in possible terrorist attacks with Weapons of Mass Destruction. Could anything be done to avoid this horror?
We ought to act with no procrastination. We need intelligently regroup our existing Forces, develop our new superior ideologically charged anti-terrorist National Strategy, create appropriate for ideological war anti-terrorist Ideological Instruments and Forces. We must adjust ourselves for that new National Strategy calling for total Mobilization of the Nation in the War on Terror.
We must stop act like children entertaining the most dangerous illusion of all, that we could not be ever defeated. Alexander the Great made a fatal mistake by believing he could not be ever defeated. Where is the Alexander’s Empire? Romans made the same mistake. Where is that great Empire? Napoleon made a similar mistake. There is no Napoleon’s Empire either. Hitler made the analogous assumption of never being defeated. Where is the Third Reich now?
Should not we learn from those Historic mistakes, or for a sake of “feeling good about ourselves” we should ignore the gloomy reality of modern terrorist warfare? Time has come to say “good bye” to illusions about this war! As any ideologically charged warfare, terrorist war is
TOTAL by a given. In simple words it means: either they kill us, or we kill them. And there is nothing in between. There is no nutrality in battle either!
Yes, we could be defeated, or rather killed by terrorists in this total war, if we, as the Nation, continue to blindly believe in “humanity” of our lethal enemies and "sacred greatness” of their ideological roots. One must realize once and forever, islamic jihadists consciously and deliberately relinquish all men properties, and turn themselves into absolute wickedness and transgression of devil.
Modern Islamic Terrorism is that dragon killed by St. George, and resurrected nowadays. The dragon-devil met the People of the United States. Therefore, it is ethically and esthetically fine not for a moment to hesitate to mop all terrorists up from the Historic Stage. The latter inherently belongs not to the dragon, but to the People!
