Because of its soldiers’ religious convictions it is more than willing to die in order to attack the U.S. This enemy has no identifiable country or family against to retaliate. Its followers are dispersed over a number of Muslim countries, so there is no place or specific people against which to retaliate.

So what does this new kind of enemy hold dear? What is it that he holds so clear that he will cease and desist rather than lose it?

During the “good old days” of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the U.S. kept them in check by having an arsenal of nuclear weapons that would obliterate their country if they attacked ours. It was called the the doctrine of “Mutually Assured Destruction.” This brutal but effective policy kept the massive nuclear arsenals of both sides from ever being used.

Is there a way to apply this doctrine to this new unique threat? I believe there is.

This new enemy is fanatically devoted to the religion of Islam. Islam holds certain religious sites

This new enemy is fanatically devoted to the religion of Islam. Islam holds certain religious sites to be scared and holy. They believe that they are an essential part of their religion and are enshrined in the Koran as essential to their religion. Especially the Ka’aba in the Great Mosque in Mecca.

On a personal level, a devout Muslim believes that uncleansed contact with pigs sends him to the deepest hell. We need to let it be known that if we catch and convict any Muslim terrorist, we will sew him into pig skin, execute him before a firing squad and bury him in it.

So here we have some things that are of utmost and critical importance to our new enemy.

So here is my suggestion. Why don’’t we let it be known that if any Muslim, be he a member of al Qaeda or any other terrorist group, launches another attack on any of our cities, we will obliterate Medina. If he attacks again, we will obliterate Mecca and the Ka’aba. If he attacks again, we will make Arabia uninhabitable for 10,000 years.

We face a fanatical and brutal enemy who is religiously motivated. This is a the only kind of language he will understand. He is a coward that thinks killing innocent men, women, and children will win him a place in Paradise. So we must face him with the few things that will truly strike terror in his heart. Otherwise, we are fighting a war that will only increase in the death and destruction of our people. It is gaining fanatical followers every day.

Brutal? Yes But effective-you bet! The choice is clear, Do we have the will to survive or not?
