Dear Editor:
Waving the French flag. Describing the acts as “barbarism”
and “outrageous” and declaring “solidarity.” Blah blah blah. Lip service at
this point is simply cowardice. The civilized nations of the world are late.
Had they declared war a year ago there would very likely have never been such a
crisis of refugees washing up on beaches with families cramming themselves at
border towns throughout Europe etc.etc.
Civilized countries need to declare war simultaneously
against the membership of these extremists so no one country can be singled out
for retaliation and put so many boots on the ground that the jihadists would be
overwhelmed and obliterated, town to town. Stop dithering! Where’s the
leadership? Where’s the global backbone? Why do we have a military?
