While the whining goes on by leftists and RINOs about so called Forever Wars like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, the real forever war is being ignored by everyone but President Donald Trump—who is being criticized for trying to deal with it.
The very real forever war is the war between western civilization and Islam, which has lasted over 1,300 years. Now THAT’S a forever war!
Western civilization has been engaged in war with Islam since the 7th century. America's third president, Thomas Jefferson, was the first United States president to engage and put down Islam on the shores of Tripoli in the early 19th century.
Western civilization has been engaged in war with Islam since the 7th century. America’s second president, Thomas Jefferson, was the first United States president to engage and put down Islam on the shores of Tripoli in the early 19th century. Whether western civilization admits it or not, Islam is a barbaric, 7th century, terrorist theocracy that has convinced its members that to die for the Muslim ideology is a heroic act that will be rewarded in heaven. When both successful conquest or dying are considered heroic, the ideology cannot be conquered. The best that can be hoped for is to quash the ideology for a period of time, which western civilization has done several times over the last 1,300 years.
In the case of Iran, we must be willing to continue killing the Islamist leadership until the Iranian Kurds and Persian are strong enough to conquer the remaining radical Islamists in control of the Iranian government. That will kill the Islamic snake in Iran, but sadly, the radical Islamic serpent will reappear somewhere else in the world and once again be a problem for modern western civilization. It has happened before, and it will happen again.
The 2026 mission for the United States and Israel is to stomp on the Iranian Islamist snake until it is thoroughly and completely dead. Give Iran back to the Persians and keep a watchful eye out for the next radical Islamist snake willing to continue the 7th century barbarism the Iranian government has sponsored for the last 47 years.
The war with Islam is literally a Forever War.
