Re: What will happen if we lose the Iraq war
There is one way, but it would not be feasible untill the whole world was threatened, THUS World War Three. The Japanese had their suicide pilots, and whole companies of soldiers, all were more than willing to die for the emperor which was very similer to the mindset of the radical arab groups (including the palistineians) It took the two atomic bombs dropped to change a mindset that cannot be defeated in any other way. To defeat a cause, they must give up, must surrender. When a party or group has no fear of death, or punishment, but thinks it will lead to glorious salvation, there will be no surrender, or defeat without a mind boggling change of thoughts, ideals, etc. The way the world situation is as exist today, they are winning, and the only way to beat them down, is with wholesale slaughter of their ranks, and as they are not identified by color, uniforms, apearance, or any other means it means a slaughter of the innocent along with the guilty, and the situation has to get very bad, and involve all of the powerfull countrys on earth, and then they would all have to act as one. Any other such action in this day and age could spell the end of modern civilization.
