In the aftermath of theNovember 13 terror attacks in Paris it is hard to believe that the world hasnot suddenly been thrown into World War Three. A new fascist regime threatensworld peace and is personified by the so-called Islamic State. The new Nazism is religious fundamentalismfrom the middle east. The Allied victory of World War One sowed the initialseeds of discontent in the region when the British and French divided up theregion in one last example of colonial posturing. The creation of Israel afterWorld War Two drove a sword through an already volatile area and challengedArab leaders to come with some sort of response to the permanent presence ofwesterners in their land. Hatred for the west- usually the United States orIsrael- and the puppet governments, or dictatorships, the west set up acrossthe region eventually boiled over and climaxed with the September 11, 2001terror attacks in the United States. And rather than see this attack as thereflex action of a culture fed up with western neo-colonialism the Americansdeclared war on Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. After almost 15 years of conflictalmost all of what was once the Ottoman Empire, stretching from Egypt toTurkey, has been laid waste. From this vacuum the fundamentalist forces of ISIShave arisen. Justas Germany was swallowed up by the Nationalist fervour of the Nazis Iraq hasbeen taken hostage by a similar evil in the form of Islamic Fanaticism. Bothmovements are eerily similar. The Nazis intended to purify themselves andcreate a master race of racial separatists. ISIS sees itself as the truth pathof Islam and has set out to cleanse and redefine its Reich, or empire. TheNazis chose ethnic cleansing as a means of purifying their people and all thosewho didnt fit their profile or who stood in their way were annihilated. Isistoo has chosen the path of genocide and intolerance to achieve its aims. Bothregimes have persecuted their chosen enemies in the most barbaric and inhumanways. And just as Germany was not satisfied with the limited expansion andconsolidation of their territory and began invading and subjugating theirenemies and neighbours through the terror of blitzkrieg, Isis also seemsunsatisfied with the establishment of their caliphate and has decided toexpand their presence globally through the terrorism. Warwith the Nazi regime was unavoidable after the invasions of Czechoslovakia andPoland, and the Allies united to meet and defeat the threat. Isis has, inrecent weeks, launched attacks against Russia and France, as well as Lebanonand Turkey and it now seems inevitable the Allies will once again unite tofight against the twin-terror of Fascismand Fanaticism. TheNovember 13 terror attacks in Paris represent the latest and bloodiest ISISattacks in the west. If we are going to effectively combat this threat againstWestern Idealism by Islamic Fanaticism (a new Cruscade?) the following strategyis required: an intelligence-oriented, military commitment to confront andannihilate the enemy wherever he may be (abroad AND at home) based upon anunbiased and thorough historical study of the root causes of the presentconflict. It is one thing to defeat the enemy physically and win the war; wemust also ensure that we do not further antagonize and isolate the
