A veritable War between Good and Evil

When a regular army such as that of the United States of America fights a guerrilla army, it cannot score a victory that shows the enemy end the fight and sign a document specifying the conditions that will be imposed on him by the victorious army. But what can happen, on the other hand, is that the regular army is defeated by the guerillas because, unable to continue fighting in a foreign country, it is forced to evacuate under chaotic conditions such as happened in Vietnam.

And this says that a commander-in-chief who insists on fighting against a guerrilla army till a victory he cannot score, is a commander that is bound to be defeated, and his country humiliated the way that America was in Vietnam. And so, the best that a regular army can do to avenge an act of aggression such as that committed on 9/11, is to go to where the enemy operates, inflict the appropriate pain on the group that committed the aggression, and get out quickly.

This is what should have happened in Afghanistan but did not. In fact, the war there has dragged for nearly 13 years, the longest that America has fought. Faced with a situation that was not of his making, President Obama who is the current commander-in-chief of the American forces has wisely decided to end that war, and to withdraw the troops in a dignified manner rather than repeat the humiliating spectacle of Vietnam.

You would think that nobody who cares about America will object to that; and you are correct. But what about those who live in America, are extremely influential but do not care about America, and would sacrifice it to the last drop of American blood and the last borrowed dollar, promoting the glory of a foreign entity they call Israel? Well, there are such people in America – one of them being Dennis Prager who expresses his preferences in an article he wrote under the title: “The Wars Are Not 'Ended'” and the subtitle: “Leaving a war without victory isn't 'leaving.' It is defeat.” It was published on February 4, 2014 in national Review Online.

He calls a defeat, the decision that President Obama took to implement an orderly withdrawal of American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan rather than let them be defeated in a spectacular manner, the way that history unfolded in Vietnam. To make his points, Prager quotes the uplifting passages that came in the President's State of the Union address then writes this: “What Mr. Obama said is not true.” He went on to explain: “The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not ended … America has quit.”

It is generally accepted that those who would sacrifice America for the glory of Israel are the Jews and those they feed with the occasional bone they throw in their direction when they need to hear them echo-repeat what they say. But things are beginning to change because while Dennis Prager is a fanatic Jew, Peter Beinart is a moderate Jew who sees himself as American first. He and people like him are now able to surface, and make a contribution to the debate whereas in the old days, they were “watched” by the Jewish organizations of self-appointed Jewish leaders, and crushed like a bug under the Zionist boot.

Unable to do such a thing anymore – at least not with the ease they used to do it – Prager finds himself forced to take up the arguments of Beinart and refute them the way that civilized people do things. And this goes to show that it is possible to train a fanatic Jew to at least pretend to behave like civilized. In any case, this is what comes in the Prager article, and it is there for anyone who wishes to examine the give and take that unfolded between him and Beinart. There is, however, one detail to which I would like to point. Speaking of Beinart, Dennis Prager writes this: “he and the Left are busier fighting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...”

Prager has thus formally established the link which everyone knew existed between the world view that lurks in the imagination of the Jewish leaders, and the interests of Israel. The rest of the article tells you that they see the struggle as an either-or situation. Either you are with America, and you let Israel “die”; or you are with Israel and you let America wither away. Both cannot be good; one must be evil, and the struggle is indeed between good and evil. You choose who is good and who is evil.

Prager then sums up the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan as he sees it to conclude that “the only goal of a war is victory … as in Vietnam, if you leave before securing your ends, you have lost the war.” Clearly then, he prefers to see the humiliation and defeat of America – Vietnam style – rather than save America's honor, and risk seeing Israel go to its neighbors and seek an accommodation with them rather than continue to do what it is doing now, which is to brag that it can go over the head of the American commander-in-chief, and get the congressional bimbos to do what it wants them to do.

And guess what Prager does after that. He writes this: “If America is not prepared to stay indefinitely … it should never engage in that war.” Hey, that's what Beinart is saying, and what Prager is trying to refute. Go figure.

Well, at least he thinks he has a reason for saying that: “Because when the decent leave, the indecent win.” And this makes me wonder how much of the Vietnam era, Prager remembers. Those of us who are old enough to remember it know that decent young men were sent by indecent old men to fight an indecent war. The young men died and the old men got promoted then retired in luxury. This is not only indecent; it is outright pornographic. And so is the Dennis Prager article.

To paraphrase him: “Thanks to President Obama, the decent young men and women are coming home,” and a wiser America is breathing a sigh of relief. And so is the world.
