Well, technically it is still going until the end of September. My summer is over now and I am working full time again. Fun is over and now I get to blog again.
This summer we saw lots of strange political activity. None of it designed to make a person like me, who values individual freedom and the freedom to succeed or fail, feel good about the Government.
Terrorist reports are fewer because the fools have finally realized they are more likely to die alone than bring others to Hell with them. This does not mean the terror leaders are giving up! This means they are having a hard time finding semi-intelligent followers who are willing to die.
These modern wars are now wars of attrition. In previous wars armies marched in and smashed things until the locals got tired of being beat on. In this war we have tried to protect the population from the bad guys and win them onto our side with Western logic. Too bad we are not fighting in the West. Wars of attrition take a lot longer than traditional wars. The liberators are on both sides and neither wants to lose. Both sides think they are right and doing the best thing for the civilian population. Winning in this takes a lot of money and time. The only thing that is saved is lives. And it the war goes long enough, then that equalizes, too. Not worth it in my book, but I am not politically correct, though I can pretend to be in public.
The attack in Norway was from a guy who is angry about the Muslims taking over his country and world. While it was nice to see someone in the land of the Vikings finally fight back, I am horrified by how he did it! If he had found known terrorists and their supporters to kill I would not have been horrified by his actions. There are different ways to do things and this attack is going to backfire from what the seeming goal was.
Anyway, I will be posting more again. If you like my posts, please let me know. See you soon.
