Hitler's Revenge

Just watched all of Obsession, the movie. Training little children to hate non-believers as pigs, and raising them to be suicide bombers. Hitler's revenge on the West.

Sen. McCain is right. Send more troops. And let them do their jobs. Kill the bad guys. Ralph Peters, RCP is right:

Our "humanity" is cowardice masquerading as morality. We're protecting self-appointed religious executioners with our emphasis on a "universal code of behavior" that only exists in our fantasies. By letting the thugs run the streets, we've abandoned the millions of Iraqis who really would prefer peaceful lives and a modicum of progress.

We're blind to the fundamental moral travesty in Iraq (and elsewhere): Spare the killers in the name of human rights, and you deprive the overwhelming majority of the population of their human rights. Instead of being proud of ourselves for our "moral superiority," we should be ashamed to the depths of our souls.

Here's one of the bad guys. You will note the source is Iran Focus.

We've got to do it, or enable a new holocaust.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, in Indonesia, a place where we have not been remotely involved, the hate goes on nonetheless. (Pay attention liberals) A few Christian schoolgirls are the targets of some Islamofascist "charity". Powerline.

UPDATE: From a veteran of Iraq, at RedState:

Going into Iraq sent a message that the West was strong – and it made those who would do us harm take note.

Unfortunately, what has been happening since then has also done the latter, but not in a good way. The enemy has long since taken note of America’s tendency to be queasy – and thus less than courageous – at the first sight of bloodshed; thus, they have made sure to put on a spectacularly bloody show. The enemy has long since taken note of America’s tendency to be queasy – and thus less than courageous – at the continued sight of soldiers in flag-draped coffins; thus, they have made sure to kill very steadily. The enemy has long since taken note of America’s refusal to enter mosques (although they are perfectly willing to blow up their own mosques), to return fire when civilians may be in danger (though they have zero compunction about slaughtering their own innocent), or to save the lives of its own soldiers when the trade-off is a soldier’s life vs. the appearance of possibly insulting or offending a foreign people or religion; thus, they have made sure to use each of these to their advantage, happily taking our sacrificial offer of young lives in exchange for their possible forgiveness for any offense we may have committed. The enemy has long since learned how to use America’s media against her; thus, they have done so, and spectacularly.

What must be done to reverse this trend (or, more aptly, this tsunami) of insurgent and terrorist advantage? What must we accomplish to call Iraq a success and to be able to leave?

The latter is something which must be decided immediately. We must - must - define the mission, both in the short-term and over the long haul.

Then, the next step must be taken: not only must the hands be unbound, but the gloves must come off.
