Tim Wise br> Arlington, Virginia /p> p> ON THE MONEY br> Re: Ben Stein's How to Lose to Terrorists : /p> p>Ben is once again right on the money. When Germany, notice I didn't just say the Nazis, attacked unarmed civilians in Europe and bombed civilians in London the appropriate response was to bomb the heck out of German cities to not only to destroy their military capabilities, but to demoralize the civilian population. The same population that allowed Hitler to rise to power. We, the allies, killed thousands of civilians, but what would have been the result if we hadn't. The same situation existed in Japan. If we hadn't fire bombed the cities and annihilated Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Japanese with nuclear weapons, the Japanese army and civilians would have fought to the death rather than surrender which would have meant hundreds of thousands U.S. military personnel would have died. Like General Sherman said, "War Is Hell," and those who perpetuate it must be dealt with appropriately. br> -- Tom Bullock br> West Covina, California /p> p> Here, here, Mr. Stein! How to Lose to Terrorists! Mr. Stein hit the ball out of the park on this one! I know as a loyal American, I agonize over our losses in Iraq. We do the same for Israel when one of their brave sons are lost, so why doesn't the MSM understand this and recognize their one sided coverage? Mr. Stein writes about the inhumane way Hezbollah has killed people worldwide. He shows our past history and why 'Nam was lost. We need to wake up and understand we will all die, as the Islamic terrorists have promised, if we don't change our tactics and forget "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS"! It is a leftist tactic that will destroy our freedom and in time of war, kill our people. War is not humane, and our enemy understands that. Let our military do their job. You never tell a professional how to do his job. It is an old adage that works well.
