Speaking of country/city, this was an excellent article: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-1101-hanson-rural-urban-divide-20151101-story.html

Locally, blue is conservative and Red for the socialists. But accepting what you say… the left are, at this time, a creature of cities: both the elite in their leafy suburbs and the underclass in the ghetto.

If I was a Persian or Arab, I would despair: if an Arab or Persian Christian I would be shaking the dust off my feet and leaving. This is going to be a tragedy. And (reflecting on what LG has said) we are culpable in that we let this happen.

But then I trust the CIA to never to do the correct thing less frequently than the French.

Agree with you that Scott’s blog has interesting comments on the morality of this all.

Well, we are led by fools. For it is the end of a moral cycle, and the progressive experiment bought in by the youth of 1968 has been found more than wanting.

Used because NZ servicemen were documented to participate, and that is where I come from. I could have used other examples, agreed.

Germany lost because Hilter invaded Russia and the US Carrier Fleet wasn’t at Pearl. (Nor did they hit the fuel depot, which was probably the more valuable target, though there are reasons they didn’t.) While Historical study now shows that the end result was likely inevitable by Fall 1942, the winepress of Total War was going to require millions of lives to see itself out.

I don’t worry about war with Muslim armies , as those haven’t been a worry (minus the Turks) since the Mongols had their way with Arabia and ended the “Islamic Golden Age”. (Only golden if you were in the rule families, more accurately) What I worry about is allowing the evil to infest the rest of the World and, specifically, our home countries.

Though if I do have one worry, it’s not about the Muslims but our currently Godless Anti-Christian elites. It was those same Godless, Anti-Christians that gave us the Camps, the Gulag and the Great Leap Forward. The ability to slaughter with industrial efficiency, perfected by the West, is what I do worry about. Because Fools lash out; the Wise prepare. And we are “lead” by Fools.

Good article but the demolition of Cassino and Dresden are not the best examples to quote really because they didn’t achieve much – brutal for the sake of brutality is not really smart in my view. Dresden was controversial amongst bomber crews even at the time and at least one admits in a book to deliberately missing the city. Germany lost the war because she ran out of resources like ammo, soldiers and fuel and the ability to move them about. Islam would be the same if we closed ranks and borders against them – you’d hardly have to fire a shot. I’m not sure I’d like what they would then do to each other but it would be them against them so not my guilt.

The blue states (and the SJW) are louder, but there are more red states, and they have more backbone. Y’all can yell about “big meaniepantses” but that’s not going to change policy. (Scott has an interesting thread up in regards to this convo, fwiw).
