Kissinger Gets It; Europe Does Not
In an interview with the online version of Der Spiegel, Henry Kissinger nails Europe for not wanting to understand the threat of Radical Islam. He also paints an accurate picture of what would happen in Iraq if we withdraw: (H/T The Tank
)
There would be a high possibility of killing fields. Radical Islam won’t stop because we withdraw. A rapid withdrawal would be a demonstration in the region of the impotence of Western power. Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaida would achieve a more dominant role, and the ability of Western nations to shape events would be sharply reduced. The virus would have huge consequences for all countries with large Muslim populations: India, Indonesia, and large parts of Europe.
Some Europeans do not want to understand that this is not an American problem alone. The consequences of such an outcome would be at least as serious for Europe as for the Americans…We are in a war against radical Islam that is trying to overthrow the moderate elements in the Islamic world and which is fundamentally challenging the secular structures of Western societies.
