If instead of pursuing a ground invasion of Afghanistan, Bush had sent in SOG teams to pinpoint the al Qaida training camps and the Taliban military concentration and then obliterated them with low yield tactical nukes and announced to the world as the bombs fell, that we had had enough of Islamic terrorism and that 1 any further attacks would be met with similar reprisal and 2 any nation found to be providing aid, comfort or logistical support to Islamic terror groups would also be subject to attack without warning thing would be markedly different today.<br />The overall cost in lives and treasure would be much less.

After completely defeating the enemy we forced them to adopt democracy. We let Japan draft a constitution, but when they put things in it like the emperor is god, we said no. Then we stayed for fifty years to make sure the behaved properly. Eventually, democracy stuck. Same for Nazi Germany.<br /><br />Contrast that with Iraq. We let them write their own monstrous constitution and didn't bat an eye when they based the whole thing on Sharia. Oh well, that's democracy, we said. Then we left after a few years. Surprise Iraq became a cesspool of Muslim hatred and no democracy. If we had done that in Japan and Germany after WWII, they would have gone back to what they were and would have been an even greater threat the second time around. <br /><br />Nation building can work, but you have to be willing to stick it out for 2 or 3 generations, until you get a generation that grows up with western values. After that you only have to contend with the never ending lunacy of liberalism/progressivism and Islam.

Or words to that effect. We introduced our guns during WWII, but refuse to use them in the 21st century to their full potential. We're too concerned about our "image" as the kindly policeman of the world, who wouldn't hurt a fly let alone an Islamic "freedom fighter." While the hate-filled jihadist "fights freedom" because he can't stand freedom, we are surrendering our freedom to the jihadist who wants to extinguish freedom wherever he finds it. Daniel may have read John David Lewis's "Nothing Less Than Victory: Decisive Wars and the Lessons of History." Perhaps not.
