The suicide bomber strategy is a big winner and left unchecked, will be the end of all Western civilization
Why? It's all in the math
I recently saw a cable TV program about WW1, specifically, a single battle that took place November 1916
The first amazing statistic was that on a SINGLE DAY in November 1916, 57,400 British soldiers died on the battlefield. That's JUST British dead - one day
By the end of November 1916 the sum of ONE MILLION men were dead from both sides included. That came out to ALMOST EXACTLY one dead in exchange for one dead on the other side. The war went on for two more years
One-for-one killings is a get-nowhere-fast war. If one side is not killing way more of the other side (in exchange for one dead on their side), the war is a stalemate, a waste of life for both sides, with no particular outcome/solution to conflict
Body count results via suicide bombers is much better; a winning pace if you will. One suicide bomber often kills dozens, even hundreds of victims. For the leaders of the suicide bombers, that's "cheap" and extremely efficient, an excellent killing ratio
Let's do some figuring
Let's say one suicide bomber on average kills 25 people. How long will it take (how many dead victims) before the bad guys are winners?
Were suicide bombers to come to American soil, the public would instantly panic and withdraw. After just a few bombings, the economy would be massively disrupted. Sales of all non-essential goods and services would come to an almost immediate halt
People would be laid off from work, except for people who sell orange barrier tape, Kevlar vests, guns and ammo, etc. Our money will quickly inflate 1,000 times and only gold and silver will be worth anything
Say what you want. The math and the tactics tell the story. The Democrats have turned Iraq into the new Viet Nam with their cut-and-run successes. Bring home the troops they say. Doing so you also bring home the suicide bombers. America's days will numbered, small numbers
