So let’s invade Kenya and save it for democracy!

We’ll even set up N.G.O.s under military protection. The gals from N.A.R.A.L. and Planned Parenthood will bring those tribes to heel!

Not to mention the San Francisco contingent which also will pass on our new cultural principles!

Procreation will cease and everything will be taken care of!

Wanumba has been either “Neo-Conned” or Hannitized!
………………..
Gotta think outside the box! wanumba used to work with a Kenyan tribal group (Bukusu) which ambushes and circumcises guys from Obama’s father’s tribal group (Luos) – for sport.

WHO KNEW that would be oddly relevent 20 years later in American politics?

Wanumba has been either “Neo-Conned” or Hannitized!

Afghanistan was the downfall of the Russian empire, our continued involvement in that country will be our downfall.

You are really giving chewie a run for his money as the worst author on here. DSW needs to clean this blog up.

Wouldn’t it be easier to do some self-study on the region and get up to speed so you can add some erudite comments instead of grumbling?
It’s astonishing to read of so many people just clamping their hands over their ears and eyes rather than making the effort to find out what’s going on.
But since there are those who don’t THINK they don’t want to know, I was inspired to write another commentary to get everyone in the know, so you too can drop exotic Sikh warrior names like Manmohan Singh at the water cooler like a savvy diplomat.

What do you think of Michelle Obama’s dress for the Obama’s first State Dinner last night?

Look, of course India wants the US to remain in Afghanistan – this is the best way to get militants out of Kashmir as the thought of attacking US troops is a much more attractive prospect for true believers. The real question is why we should be falling into that trap and continuing this occupation which, based on history and current circumstances, is certain to fail.

I have used the term “Islamofascism” as a contemporary terminology that came into common usage after 9/11 as people were not satisfied with a generic term of “terrorism” when “terror” is actually a TACTIC of warfare, not a clarification or identification of the ideology or the enemy itself which was employing said tactic.
With radical Islam stated as religion and government as one, many people felt that “Islamofascism” as a term indeed captured better the core essence of the ideology of the Islamic terrorists. The “deconstruction” you argue is of the existing secular governments to replace them with a radical Islamic, centralized, highly State(Mosque)-controlled governmental structure, absorbing by conquest independent nations into one government, identified by the Al-Qaeda leaders like Bin Laden as the “Caliphate,” a restoration and expansion of the height of Muslim conquest, known as the “Ottoman Empire,” not no government.

The main governing feature of the Ottoman Empire was “despotism” so if you’d like, you could urge the use of “Islamodespotism” rather than “Islamofascism,” or maybe the mouthful, “Islamototalitarianism.”
But with the intent of all functions of society directed by the Islamic State, as manifested in IRAN, then the use of “Islamofascism” is correct.
The intent of these terms is to WARN the reader of destruction of Democracies, free markets, freedom of religion, the denigration of the value of the individual to the lordship of the STATE, and so forth.

There are several countries today which proclaim themselves to be “Islamic Republics,” but the religion does not dominate the society the way the Revolutionary Iranian regime dominates Iranian society and production,or the Al-Qaeda leadership intends to dominate conquered or absorbed nations into the Caliphate. Rhetoric must be compared with actual actions to determine the truth of what’s going on.

While Pakistan calls itself an Islamic Republic, the radical Taliban thinks it isn’t Islamic ENOUGH and are waging insurgency to undermine what THEY perceive as a moderate or liberal and absolutely inadequately Muslim government. Plenty of Pakistanis are not interested in restrictive, oppressive and all-encompassing totalitarian governance, and believe that the Taliban are dangerously off Islam as they desire to practice it.

AS for advocating anything, we are advocating that AMericans get up to speed on AFghanistan in order to be better informed as to the incredible importance of America’s presence in AFghanistan.

People understand the geopolitical importance of US troops in shattered Germany for half a century, people understand the importance of US troops at the DMZ separating the two Koreas, for almost half a century, so can Americans understand what the Afghans face, and the magnitude of the loss of US prestige and US tactical and strategic positions in Asia if the US was to cut and run from a fight, from a measurably weaker and less competent force, hardly even qualifying as a “military,” leaving an ally to twist in the wind.

Fascism, look it up, means

A political ideology that seeks to combine radical and authoritarian nationalism with a corporatist economic system.

Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.

According to Mussolini, the founder of fascism and the fascist party,
“All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

By the very definition of what you are describing as “islamofascism”, it is in fact the antithesis of fascism as the people you state we are fighting are fighting to deconstruct the nation structure, including muslim nation-states such as Pakistan.

I’ve travelled plenty around the world and have lived abroad.

What you write is logical nonsense.

You are the one advocating the idea of Mussolini’s quote:
“All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
