For those that red-repped me, F off. Especially if your an American.
Past the country, environment, and culture you were lucky enough to grow up in it would seem you are cut the same cloth of those people that scream jihad when a cartoon of Mohammed is drawn with a bomb on his head. Someone who truly likes America makes a light hearted joke and you respond with overblown threats of violence, the only thing missing was you using the word "jihad".
America will win the war in the long run because they have the moral high ground. They do not condone acid being thrown into a woman's face because she refuses to wear a burka, they do not allow the stoning of a woman to death because she did not marry the man her father wished, they do not participate in the mustard gas slaughter of thousands of their own people, they support the people of a country like Iran when the democratic process is corrupt.
All of that stuff, that is how America will win. They appeal to the moral standards of the majority of the people in those countries. The common people of those countries are sick of living in fear and under domination of the powerful few. The war will in the end be won from within, the people will change the countries with their own civil wars and battles to overthrow the violence and violent dictatorships. America is a example of a better way of life for those people and global communication and the internet are making it impossible for the leaders in the Middle East to hide that as once took place.
Soto, we need soldiers, but the most powerful attack on the Middle East is that picture of a soldier giving out rations to a woman and her starving children, that picture of a soldier carrying a wounded Iraqi child who was in the blast range of an insurgent placed land mine to an American medical facility. Those actions and the powerful message they send to the people of those countries are worth 1000 insurgent kills, they make it harder and harder for the people who recruit the insurgents to indocternate the people of the Middle East and preach hate for Western Society.
The most important battle fought in the Middle East I have seen was the rioting of the common people in Iran and murder at the hands of the Iran government after the fraudulent elections. That will not be forgotten, the pictures of a young woman dying in the street due to her want of true democracy will slowly help to erode the corrupt systems in place in that area of the world.
The war will be won in the end with morallity, and Soto, threatening physical violence over a joke is the type of mindset that will simply prolong the changes. The people in the Middle East who recruit terrorists and insurgents need people like you, you help them, stop being their puppet, an example of a violent intollerant American. The Muslim reaction to the picture of Mohammed won them no world wide support, they instead lost heaps, your threats of violence are similar and they do not help America.
And one could only hope you would first and foremost wish to truly help your country in all ways you are able. Be an example to the people of the world that America truly has that moral high ground. Don't just fall into a practice of reactionary violence that mimicks the people you are fighting against.
