This is what some people believe to be the tactical emphasis employed by terrorist organizations battling the United States. 

 

ACTION – Attacks. Create fear and induce economic disruption. Kill Americans.

 

REACTION – American increase in security, travel restrictions and economic shifts to enable recovery.

 

FALLOUT – Citizens to blame U.S. government. Government to initiate new laws to protect populace; but out of necessity these changes cause restrictions in freedom and movement.

 

COUNTER ACTION - America Attacks. (War on Terror)

 

COUNTER REACTION – Islamic clerics point to American attacks against Islamic states or holy territories and call for Islamic Jihad.

 

COUNTER FALLOUT – American’s lose resolve for protracted conflict. (Terrorist's believe America has no stomach for bloodshed.) Political blame ensues as media and elites point to American actions and compare them to terrorists while elevating terrorists to the level of revolutionaries or freedom fighters. Ultimately America retreats and withdraws on from the War on Terror, (at least on military fronts) and Islam claims victory.

 

A victory by radical Islam will fuel the very attacks that appeasement sought to defer. Victory for radical Islam becomes rallying cry for recruitment and continued war against the United States.

 

Does any of this sound familiar?  If it doesn't it should.  Just take a look around and listen to our politicians and the liberal media.
