I’ll start with militia: (noun) an army composed of civilians called out in time of emergency. Webster’s Universal Dictionary and Thesaurus

1 a : a part of the organized armed forces of a country liable to call only in emergency b : a body of citizens organized for military service
2 : the whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law as being subject to call to military service Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

In essence, a militia is a body of citizens called out BY THE CIVIL AUTHORITY in times of emergency, particularly as specified in the Constitution, consisting of citizens called forth to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel invasion. This does not describe those who are rebels, insurgents, terrorists, guerrillas, irregular soldiers, unlawful combatants, or foreign invaders.

Basically, that is all you need to know about what a militia is. It is a time honored, [i]PATRIOTIC[/I] armed force of citizens whose only existence is to enforce the law, suppress insurrection, and repel invasion. A militia is nothing like what the media uses the word to cover. It’s an attempt by the left, gun grabbers, and the complicit old mainstream media to sully the true character of the militia. Why? So the Second Amendment can be demonized in the eyes of public opinion, and for its worth to be dissembled to apparent insignificance in today’s world. Why? So that We the People will not stand in the way of bellicose big government. Why? Because liberals with their elitist attitude think they know better that which is good for us than we do for ourselves.

Just look at any dictatorship. All people in opposition must be disarmed first. Same for any tyrant who wishes to stay in power. Same for any theocracy that wishes to stay in power, or oligarchy, or commune, or monarchy, etc, etc.

Want to remain free? Start by guarding the militia, all it truly stands for, WHO THE MILITIA REALLY IS, and the keeping and bearing of the tools the militia is entitled to and has the right so protected in the Constitution.

So we can be Europe, if we want. Let the real men take care of what is really OUR problem as much it is theirs.

It’s a worldwide problem actually given the amount of oil going through the Strait of Hormuz.

…which is likely the reason for inaction.

P.S. Warning nuke?

Mr President, on Sept 20th 2001 in a televised addresss to a joint session of Congress you made a speech in which you articulated what is called the Bush Doctrine. It read as such, “the U.S. would make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them”. You summed up this policy with the words, “Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” Considering what we know now about the Iraqi militia fighters being trained in Iran to build and use deadly armor-piercing roadside bombs and complex attack strategies against American forces can you please explain to me when and how the Bush doctrine has changed. And also could you state for the American people what the new Bush doctrine is?

Oh, wait… nevermind.

We in the U.S. have NO idea how to pull that off. But I know who does!

In my opinion the only reason Iran is not engaged in open warfare against the United States is that they are not strong enough. We can expect more of the same after they have nuclear devices, and of course, they will deny any part in such an act, initially anyway.

Iran’s actions are so predictable we know what is coming. Nuclear weapons developed and then deployed against American and Israeli interests with denial of any participation by Iran.

We should immediately recognize Iran for the sworn enemy it is and pay the price to engage in punitive military action against that nation. Putting Iran, literally, into the stone age without any effort at reconstruction or assistance should be on the table as an immediate course of action – BEFORE – they continue with nuclear weapons development. Continue aggessive, punitive, military action to completly destroy Iran as a nation until they surrender, or die, would certainly eliminate the biggest single threat to American security, second only to the Left in this country.

Of course such prudent action will not happen with so much of the electorate in sympathy with the Left, our biggest weakness, in this country. It will take not one, but two major disasters before such action is seriously contemplated by the powers that be. It is unfortunate so many Americans will have to suffer and pay the price for the weakness and stupidity of the Left.

How do you break the will of a state-sponsored, but globally diffuse, religiously-based terrorist organization?

Listen to the solutions proposed by the Democrats.

Do the opposite.

Israel.

It’s funny. For almost a century, we’ve pulled the world’s nuts out of the fire repeatedly … and let’s face it, we sort of look down on them for it. We mock France, even as we rescue them every five minutes. Because we know that we’re willing to do the dirty work that they’re afraid to do.

We all know that Europe only exists because of American bravery. We all take some pride in that, even if nobody thanks us anymore.

And I’m starting to have a sneaking suspicion that Israel is starting to feel about us the way we feel about Europe. I guarantee that right at this moment, people in Israel are asking the question we’ve asked so often: “Are WE going to have to do the dirty work AGAIN?”

From Israel’s perspective, it’s a pretty good one question. And an embarrassing one for us. Something has to be done about Iran. No question. Sooner rather than later.

Are we going to do it? Or do we play France and let Israel man up and act like Americans?

Americans have the luxury of two vast oceans keeping us safe (or at least giving us the illusion of safety, which should be gone after 9/11). Israel can’t afford to live in a world of illusions.

So we can be Europe, if we want. Let the real men take care of what is really OUR problem as much it is theirs.

The bottom line: there is no excuse for not ALREADY having taken action. Iran has now committed multiple acts of open warfare against us and our allies. Kidnapping British troops, arming and training the insurgents … these are acts of war. Period. There isn’t even a debate to be had.

So who are we gonna be? America? Or France?

Or do we just need another 9/11 or another Pearl Harbor to remember who and what we are?

The dhimmicrats’ plan: Negotiate with wackos who think starting WW3 will bring back their messiah. What could go wrong?

The foreign policy of the United States with respect to Iran is that there will be NO dialog with them until they forswear their nuclear weapons program.

Iran is a terrorist state. Pelosi and Lantos would be giving aid and comfort to an enemy government by advancing an alternate foreign policy with regard to Iran.

If they go, they should be met on their return by armed marshals and taken off to the federal corrections facility in Virginia in handcuffs while under arrest for treason.

George W. Bush: IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK against the Democrats who put party above country. Unless you wish to see irrepairable harm come to this country, YOU MUST ACT. You are running out of time, Mr. president.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. [Marcus Tullius Cicero]

Get tough enough to break the will of their bankroll backers – Iran, Syria, Russia, China. Do we have the guts? Don’t think so.

Until Iran pays for its meddling in Iraq and until Hezbollah is destroyed, we can expect more of the same, and farther afield than Iraq or even the Middle East.
-Bryan

We’re way too domesticated for that. The chaos Iran/Syria are spreading has a long way to travel before we get desperate enough to really fight back. We’re just trying to hold ‘em at arm’s length while we continue the American Dream, but they’re far more determined than we are.

We know how to do it with industrialized nation-states — by attacking their army, navy, and weapons-production facilities.

Does anyone out there know the current military doctrine on this?

No “re-start the Crusades” trolls, please.
