“You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, … That is our policy.”
–Winston Churchill, May 1940
Perhaps if, in the 1970s (when [Islamic attackers] took and held hostages for 444 days), Churchill’s policy had become our policy, 3,000 Americans would not have been killed on 9/11, Bali would not have exploded, Spain would not have capitulated and England would not today be in mourning.
Perhaps if, in the 1980s (when [Islamic attackers] had bombed soldiers barracks in Lebanon …), Churchill’s policy had become our policy, 3,000 Americans would not have been killed on 9/11, Bali would not have exploded, Spain would not have capitulated and England would not today be in mourning.
…
Churchill’s necessary policy of 1940 is the necessary policy of today. Fighting against an enemy … so bereft of shame that they revel in the shedding of innocent blood, there can be no other policy but war and victory.
