In
the early 1800s the new United States, with a very small navy, waged
"Mini-Wars" against the Islamist pirates in the
Mediterranean Sea. Those scum were waging, for financial gain and in
obedience to the unalterable commands of Islam, such piracy which was
an attack on the "freedom of the seas" and against
those who Muslims consider as "unbelievers".
The
USA's use of naval and limited, on land, force ended those attacks.
The much larger powers of France, Spain and England failed to
demonstrate such courage.
I
will not insult your intelligence by detailing the
parallels with the current attacks as ordered by Iran's, very
orthodox, Mullahs and executed by Iran's paramilitary
and Jihad waging forces.
Pirates
may be killed out-of-hand or after very summary
courts martial by responding military forces.
The
following quotes strictly apply to the above piracy:
1. "Pirates are the enemies of all mankind." (ie Humanity)
(Probable source is Hugo
Grotius a prime founder of international law); And,
2.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
(George Santayana).
Please
note that I have served against evil "men" by dangerous
service with the US Navy.
