Was King Abdullah Right?

IS this World War Three?

In the hours following the September 11 attacks, Jordan's King Abdullah called it the outbreak of 'World War Three.' On September 11, 2001, America didn't know she was at war with anybody. Five years later, it appears that America is at war with EVERYBODY. How did that happen?

When al-Qaeda attacked America, the New York Times launched an investigation into why we deserved it. Liberal politicians appealed for calm to give them time to figure out how we caused the attack by being richer than the Islamic countries that spawned the terrorists.

When America invaded Afghanistan, the newspapers were filled with accounts of American 'collateral damage' and civilian casualties -- many of which were later proved untrue. American reporters sought evidence of mistreatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. When they couldn't find them, they made them up. Like the story of Korans being flushed down toilets, for example. It didn't matter that the stories weren't true. The damage was already done.

By the time of the Iraq War, America had been transformed from victim to warmonger. Any potential terrorist could find out from the New York Times that the war with Iraq was based on lies. America just wanted to steal Iraqi oil. When America DIDN'T steal Iraqi oil, the liberal mainstream claimed the war was waged to benefit Haliburton Construction. And so on. In the global popularity contest between Saddam Hussein and George Bush in early 1993, Saddam Hussein won, hands down.

Since then, the mainstream press has reported America has secret prisons where it tortures prisoners. Never proved. It has reported 'widespread' torture at Abu Graibh prison.

That 'widespread' torture involved six US servicemen -- out of 240,000 in service. But US Senator Dick Durbin called it evidence that American soldiers in Iraq were as bad as Nazis.

America is now on the brink of war with Iran, the third country since the events depicted in United 93.

The Russians and Chinese are siding with Iran. The Iranians have sworn to annihilate Israel and have threatened both Europe and the United States with nuclear retaliation if attacked.

Somebody needs to alert the US media.

World War Three started on September 11, 2001. It's time they chose up sides.

I hear there are some openings over at al Jazeera.

Well I think there is something to it, but just a little.

It took us fifty years to defeat Soviet communism, and with the same basic lunkheads (the EU, China, Etc) standing around complaining and even fighting us, but we did it. I think getting rid of this nasty virus called militant Islam may take that long. If we were not so dependant on oil imported from Islamist countries it would be easier, but the threat would remain.

The thing to remember is that we could annihilate them all quite quickly, even China is no match for our nuclear capabilities. But the Chinese really do not want any sort of world war with the US, they need us, we need them. Without China soaking up our debt we would all be paying much higher taxes than we are, but they need us to sell all of their goods to.

So who is left? Well a bunch of ragtag losers in the Middle East who have not had a successful civilization since the Ottoman empire, in general they have been left in the dust and we are now seeing their bitterness and envy come to the forefront. They have done us damage and they will continue to do us damage but they are not a true threat to our national security our country, no more than the pirates of the Barbary Coast were. We simply need a long-term battle plan to destroy them, but it will take some time. But in terms of sacrifice and danger they are no where near the threat that Japan and Germany were in 1941, nor the Soviet Union was in 1975. We have lost 2500 soldiers in Iraq and 2000 civilians in the World Trade Center that is far too many deaths. But even combined they don

I think His Majesty was wrong. WWIII began on the heals of WWII, and was fought in various small countries by the surrogates of the Soviet Union and China. With the economic collapse, and ultimate demise of the Soviet Union, and what with China becoming a very capitalist minded economy, WWIII ended with a victory for us.

We are now in WWIV, and it is a MUCH more serious game; our former enemies wished to conquer us, and live through the war to enjoy the fruits of their victory. The current pack of lunatics wants to kill us all, and does not care to survive the war, but wants to DIE in the act of killing all of us.

They are very much like the space creatures in "Independence Day." You remember the scene, after one of these insectoid creatures has been captured, and a means to communicate with it have been fabricated, the president, hoping to 'negotiate with them' asks: "What do you want?" To which the creature simply responds: "We want you to die." Our current enemy is exactly the same, and will be so to the end........

Leonard...anybody that can quote a line from ID4, and make it sound completely relevant is TOPS in my book! Go Leonard! Great post, too!

I disagree, Islamic militants are not near the threat that China is or the Soviet Union was. They can indeed do us harm, but if we can't defeat them we deserve to go down, we spend more on our military than a good portion of the rest of the world combined which is just astounding. One of our nuclear subs sitting in the Mediterranean could annihilate Iran, Iraq, Saudi, and Syria, in a couple of hours. Iran could maybe someday in five or ten years lob a nuke toward us. If we can't defeat these guys there is something very very wrong. Maybe Bin laden is right, maybe we are weak and soft and corrupt? Because that would be the only conclusion for being defeated by a group of fanatical 19th century losers. No doubt we need to be unrelenting and not give up, but we have bigger fish to fry than these guys do. What happens if China invades Taiwan, what happens if North Korea invades the South, or bombs Japan? Those are real possibilities and much scarier for us than Islamic militants.

We have much more to fear from the moral corruption in our own country than we do militant Islam.

Smalcald: Operative word in your post: "could." But with the severe mental illness called 'liberalism' rampant and ruling in most of our society, we have become as unsure of even our own right to exist; WE ARE WEIMAR!!!

I don't know if it matters or not if we call it WWIII or WWIV, but I do agree with what Leonard is saying here.
