Watch this a minute or so and tell me if you see why we are not winning the war against Islamic terrorism. As long as we negotiate with them, and even fight them as if they have the same morals, we have we will never be able to win. You cannot respect Islam or their views and treat them as equal adversaries; we must simply kill them, all of them, in order to win and be done with them. President Thomas Jefferson had the right idea about how to deal with them in his day, and the funny thing is, their weapons have evolved and improved and so forth, but their morals and ideals are the same Stone Age stupidity that we faced way back in Jefferson’s day. If a mother wants to send her young son off to commit suicide while hopefully killing Christians and Jews, or anyone other than her preferred form of Islam, then these mothers are not someone we can or should treat as equals, or offer normal respect for. The Shiites in Persia invented suicide war tactics and the taking of hostages in battle, not prisoners of war but hostages held for ransom. We aren't dealing with them properly yet, and never will until we understand them in the basic sense. As long as the American president, whoever holds the office, will stress that we are not at war with Islam, we will have no peace, it is not possible. We have to declare war and fight to win that way, no matter what it takes.

You can't fight an ideal with bombs and bullets.
For everyone one of them we kill 5 more take their place. I'm not sure how to fight them, but traditional warfighting will only make more enemies.

This suicide bomber's family was paid very well for what he did. He provided about a year's worth of income for his mom, wife, etc. I have no sympathy for these people. They made their beds - let 'em sleep in it (or blow it up)

Don't be fooled. She was paid handsomely for her participation in this video.
It is a common tactic for Hamas. If they didn't celebrate their culture of death and back it up with economic windfalls to family members, they would have run out of willing suicide bombers long ago. It is BS, aimed at a very specific, vulnerable segment of the Pallistinian people.
Contrast this with Hamas' "governance", in which officials siphon away every penny to fund their own lifestyle while the infrastructure crumbles (or get demolished by Israeli counter-battery fire) and workers often go unpaid. Israel's fault, of course. At least on Pallistinian TV.
