I recently went to see the movie "300" which I found not only entertaining, but harboring many truths about the courage needed to defeat Islamic doctrine world-wide. After leaving the theater I was lost in thought about the many messages the movie had for anyone who saw the film. And honestly it was a blessing for me because I was able to wrap my head around the cold hard facts that had eluded me since the beginning of this war on terror.

If you're anything like me, and have a genuine concern for these issues but need a honest summation of why we are in a war to start with, it can be difficult to draw a conclusion based on past events which have lead to this point. With the Islamic doctrine conflicts, suicide terror attacks and rhetoric from the likes of the Council on American Islamic Relations, these three things alone are enough to baffle the mind.

Then, to make matters more complicated, throw in the tactics of a organization that claims religious interest and pursuits but who advocate political unrest, as CAIR does, by producing more hate through it's strong intimidation tactics while proclaiming peace, liberty and justice for all of Islam. When you try and wrap your head around all of this at once we can't even remember where we started. It comes as no surprise to me that we don't have a clue as to where we're going because we can barely remember where we've been. This was my predicament prior to gaining an understanding of the situation on a world wide scale, and what this war means to every free man, woman and child living on this planet. All you have to do is understand the basic fundamentals of Islam and you will see the jeopardy we are all in.

The Battle of Thermopylae as an example.. Xerces required only one thing from King Leonidas to allow him to not only live, but reward him with the title of War Lord of all nations living under Xerces thrown. Leonidas must bow and submit to the feet and will of the Conquerer. Here lies the greatest insult, disgrace and unacceptable proposition for our hero King Leonidas, and for the United States of America and it's allies.

As the movie "300" has illustrated via theatrical storytelling, Islam is about submission… Submission to Allah, submission to fatwa, submission to leaders… the list is endless. Islam exist in a constant state of ultimatums. "Do this or I'll frakin' kill you.."The Islamic world has taken over almost all of Europe because of Europe's apathy to an invading force who has used "human rights" as a weaponized medium to demand submission from the citizens of it's states or countries, thereby taking over an apathetic people who are simply attempting to be tolerant of other peoples rights and ideology. In the course of history, especially in Europe, this was unacceptable. But today, as society becomes more politically correct and tolerant of everything from Gays, abortion, open boarders…, people are more prone to "Live and let live" philosophy. Here is the downfall of the Europeans and eventually the West if not put in check by a strong offensive.

The Islamic community has seen the weakness in the armor of our societies and has learned to manipulate the system to gain tactical support by taking advantage of the apathetic states of various countries and philosophies. Islam demands submission from the whole world… And that is why I think it's fair to call this World War III.

As Dwight Schultz from Howling Mad Radio has mention in his podcast, a declaration of war wasn't signed by Congress to defeat the terrorist. Instead, the good people of the United States received a resolution to fight a war with terrorist. A big step back from the all out war on evil that was needed from the very start. What we got was more like choosing to ride a tricycle when you had a perfectly good 21 speed mountain bike at your disposal. We all know that a fully grown adult can't ride a tricycle.

Using the analogy of the tricycle vs mountain bike, we're left to deduce the choice of our politicians as never being on sure footing with the American people in the aftermath of 9/11.They were never sure of a direction to take regarding the gorilla style attacks on U.S. soil and now I think I understand why. The politicians, despite their political motivations, at least knew that to kill an ideology like that of the Jihadi meant that that you must kill every person that holds that ideology close to them. That meant killing 90% of the Muslim population world wide due to the very nature of Muslim doctrine. It goes without saying that no politician in the free world, bound to a selection of ethics that has worked for over 200 years in our nation, wants to be guilty of even suggesting genocide no less carrying it out. The plush life of an elected official would cease to exist for them. A weakness that should be dealt with appropriately prior to elections…

Our fearless leaders were left with two options after what I would consider "deep consideration" of all the facts. We, as a nation, could choose to submit to Islam or stand and fight. These were the only two options suggested by the religion of Islam, and it's leaders, via either the lack of action on the part of the "peaceful moderates", or via the terror attacks on Christians and Jews played out by the "warriors of peace".

It's strange because now the United States and the rest of the free world has been placed in a situation where we've been forced to deliver our own ultimatum if we want to continue to live in peace without the threat of war. How ironic is that…?The last time the United States, and it's allies, faced the "submit or die" ultimatum began in 1942 by the Japanese Imperial Armies. In 1945, in the throws of Pacific conflict, President Harry S. Truman reasoned that in order to save the lives of thousands of U.S. and allied soldiers that a quick pronounced example of power and destruction was in order to break the determination of the Japanese.

The use of the atomic weapons "Fat Man and Little Boy" on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was necessary due to the psychological conditioning of the Japanese which was to the degree that they believed, via propaganda, that any U.S. Soldier would "eat their young…" if captured or detained.

Hence the senseless beheadings of U.S. captives, torture and barbarian atrocities on the part of the Japanese during World War II, carried out on U.S. and allied soldiers mercilessly in the Pacific and Asian theaters.

As history reveals more about the nature of the religious and political fanatic, we must realize that despite our own personal drive to "live and let live…" that there are forces in this world that have no greater desire than to see the destruction of peace and prosperity. To say that Islam as a whole is bad is just as bad as saying that all Japanese are bad or evil when in fact it was a handful of Japanese that were to blame. This is the stance of the American leadership as it is a responsible, idealistic viewpoint on the war with terror and those who conduct it.But, in the course of history in America, and the rest of the world, we have never been faced with such a blatant example of evil, bombastic rhetoric and intimidation from those who claims to conceal no affiliation to politics of state, no affiliation with dictators or armies, while simultaneously declaring that "Islam without political domination can not survive". In the left hand of Islam is Qur'an. In the right hand of Islam is a Damascious steel sword. The United States, Europe and other countries are playing a whole new ball game, and we don't know the rules.

This type of situation is very much like the one that President Harry S. Truman faced in order to save the lives and families of thousands upon thousands of men and women serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

As the President and Commander in Chief of our nation, the lives of each citizen fell directly, and squarely on his, and his cabinets, shoulders. A fact that President Truman took very seriously according to his actions. Actions which, in my opinion, were just and right for the betterment of our country and future as citizens despite the horror of it all.

The problem, in dealing with the Islamic population and ideals, is the mentality of the participants and their lack of social growth over a millennium. This is why the occupation of Iraq is critical to the defeat of the terrorist in the long run.

In 1945 actions set the stage for change. The actions of President Truman, in conjunction with a 20 kiloton atomic weapon, served as a wake-up call to the mentality of the Japanese. Similar actions on the part of the United States, or Israel, will serve to enact the strongest force upon the global Islamic population. Such action would serve to re-educate a population of people that has been morally and intellectually deficient for over 2,000 years based on society's growth and technological advancement in the West.

Change will come inside the nation of Islam when it's followers see, and understand, that civilized society is more than the disembodied allurement of peace without doctrine to back it up as is profoundly lectured throughout the Qur'an. Unfortunately we are running out of time and do not have the luxury of re-educating a complete society of people about the advantages of democracy and tolerance before the next large scale attack on our sovereignty.

Faced with Islam's global ultimatum to submit and pay homage. One alternative is to kill them all and let Allah sort them out. This is alternative path offered to the rest of the free world by the global Islamic community unless, like in Europe, an apathetic population does not mind being dominated by a conquering invading force and having to submit to the "religion of peace" and it's fascist radical leadership. Personally I will fight to the death before I even consider this an option for my children, my family, my neighbor or myself. And this is why I am suggesting that nuclear weapons be considered as an option. Because I firmly believe that the battle to come will require nuclear weapons just like the Islamic Jihadi believe in the killing of 7 million Americans. The only difference is that the Jihadi are trying to perfect their attack and we are sitting around talking about the attack to come…
