Can the Terror Hydra have a Final Resolution?

Mordechai Ben-Menachem and Kolel Kever Rachel

Before discussing ‘how’ to fight the so-called War on Terror, the real question is whether parents are openly willing to send their sons and daughters to die. If not, then what they say is their hedonism is more important than their civilization. This is an issue of morality. The entire world is at war; a war that began some two decades ago, has exacted many millions of casualties, and everyone agrees will continue for the next several decades, at least. One of the longest, harshest wars in human history; and no one has really ‘bothered’ to comprehend its characteristics – or even to define it. This article is not about religion. Modern ‘faith’ is drawn from Marx, religion is the opiate of the masses – and who wants to be ‘masses’? It is more chic to be ‘liberal’ and ‘secular’ and anti-religion. And, if one can get away with it, anti-religion while proudly declaring utter ignorance. We probably all know of a certain biologist who makes a point of searing anti-religion statements while proudly professing his ignorance of the subject. This article is about Morality and Education for morality, as a defined objective – a dangerous and uncomfortable subject; this article is about choosing civilizational survival.
