“How do we identify the Enemy?”

In today's World, in which we live, who is the enemy? What does he look like? How do we recognize him? What do we look for to identify him? Once we identify him, how do we stop him? These are basic questions, which our government should be asking, if we are going to be successful in handling the coming anarchies that lie ahead for us. For all we know he could be our next-door neighbor checking us out just waiting for the moment to kill us.
Since the beginning days of the Bible, Brother has attacked Brother with the intent of killing him. If Families kill each other, what makes you think that neighbors would be any different? Family members should support and love one another because they come from the same family inner circle, such as a Mother and a father. However, that is not always the case. At times, during periods of hostilities our neighbors can be more reliable than our own families. However, this is a problem because the way the world is today, so whom can you trust?
In early warfare, the enemy would face each other in battle. One will try to be victorious over the other. Countries would wage war where there were boundaries. You new where the enemy was and you could destroy him; that is no longer the case today's battles, our soldiers do not know who the enemy is. They come disguised with a smile on their faces. They are of different colors, ages, gender, religion and they look much like us. They dress like us, they believe in family values like us; they practice their religion like us. Yet because of differences in religious believes in not understating their differences we are engage in a conflict, which will last for a longtime.
Countries in the Middle East have been fighting one another for ages. Not because of economic reason but because of religious believes. Their religious ideology is what governs their lives, and form of government. They have not idea about the word freedom. Ruled by forms of government that were comprise of, Monarchies Kings and Queens, Warlords, and Tyrants who had the power and money to pay armies so they could hold on to power. They would pass it down to their heirs and children at time of their deaths.
Having engaged in many wars, the U.S., in having good intelligence in identifying its enemy, and quickly adapting to his strategy has been successful in its victories. That has been the case with most war the U.S., has fought. In allowing our Generals and high military ranking personnel experience in the art of Warfare to do the planning and setting War plans in motion, not the politicians who are sitting behind a desk in Washington with no military experience. There have been instances where we have made mistake in having our Politicians dictate the strategies use in battles, having to pullout to safe face. The Vietnam Wars was a perfect example. I know, I was there. Now we are engage inn another war that will take at least ten (10) years or more before we can have an idea on its outcome.
Because of the War in Iraq, and the way the War is being handle, the rule of engagement have drastically change giving the enemy an edge over us. By our politically correct people in congress trying to be too politically correct, we are cutting our own throat. The enemy has his own set of rules of engagement during his war against us, and that is to kill us all. Whites, Black, Asians, Europeans, and not to forget the Jewish people which the Muslin community will like to see disappear from the face of the Earth. It is either the Muslin way, or the Highway…
During the Civil War, we knew who the enemy was. He was our neighbor, and our own family in arms. There was a frontline, which changed back and forth, during battles. Forcing both sides to set up strategic war plans to find ways to defeat each other.
In future wars, there is not going to be a frontline. We are going to be fighting the enemy in our own front lawn. That is going to be after the radiation clouds scatters and it is safe to go outside to fight. We are going to be in a struggle, which will last for years. There is not going to be any law and order in the land. Families will fight each other for food and water and whatever they can get from each other. Total Anarchic, fighting and struggling just for the little piece of land they may have in front of them which will be a safe space. This is what our future holds for us. That is what our human intelligence has brought us.
I believed that we as Humans are the inheritors of the Universe. In addition, we could spread our species across the vast distances across from one end of the universe to the other for all to enjoy... This is the gift from God, which he has given us and we have failed to realize it. In addition, we continue to walk blinded by hatred and greed with no love for one another. Instead, striving to get what the others may have by force or intimidation.
