THE HISTORY LESSON THAT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IS IGNORING:  SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM (IF YOU WANT PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR) -- A MILITARILY & ECONOMICALLY STRONG SOCIETY IS LESS LIKELY TO BE ATTACKED BY ITS ENEMIES. A FOREIGN & NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY OF SUCCESSFULLY MAINTAINING OVERWHELMING MILITARY & INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH GREATLY CONTRIBUTES TO A COUNTRY'S AVOIDING WARS. PRESIDENT OBAMA MAKES EVIDENT HIS ANTIPATHY OF THE ROLE OF THE U.S. MILITARY IN DEFENDING THE NATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE U.S.A., ENSURING THE SAFETY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, & MAINTAINING WORLD PEACE THROUGH AMERICAN MILITARY STRENGTH. OBAMA'S DETERMINATION TO REDUCE AMERICA'S MILITARY STRENGTH & CAPABILITIES IS PUTTING THE U.S.A. IN PERIL.

THE EFFECTS OF WORLD WAR IV ON THE AMERICAN NATION:  A NEW KIND OF ENEMY & MAJOR CHANGES IN U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY -- RESTRUCTURING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TO ENABLE IT TO EFFECTIVELY COPE WITH THE ISLAMIST JIHAD BEING WAGED AGAINST THE U.S.A. & WESTERN CIVILIZATION -- THE U.S.A.

ISLAM, CHINA, & RUSSIA:  THREE VERY SERIOUS THREATS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA -- MAJOR FLAWS IN U.S. FOREIGN & NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY -- AMERICAN NATIONAL LEADERS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ISLAM AS WE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE, RATHER THAN HOW COUNTLESS DEVOUT MUSLIMS UNDERSTAND IT -- AMERICA'S FAILURE TO BUILD A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF DEFENDING AGAINST A SHIP-LAUNCHED MISSILE ATTACK BY IRAN OR A BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK FROM CHINA OR RUSSIA -- DEGRADATION OF AMERICAN STRATEGIC THINKING DURING & AFTER THE COLD WAR -- OUR EXCEEDINGLY FOOLISH POLICY TOWARD RUSSIA DURING THE LAST TWO DECADES -- THE NEW START TREATY UNDERCUTTING OUR STRATEGIC DEFENSE POLICY -- CHINA OPENLY PLAYING THE ROLE THAT THE SOVIET UNION ONCE PLAYED AS CHIEF SPONSOR OF GLOBAL CONFLICT WITH THE U.S.A. & THE WEST -- HIGH TIME FOR US AMERICANS TO REMIND OUR REPRESENTATIVES & SENATORS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT THAT THE U.S. CONGRESS PROVIDE FOR A COMMON DEFENSE, IN THE TRUE SENSE OF THE EXPRESSION

THE PROBLEM WITH U.S. RATIFICATION OF & COMPLIANCE WITH A TREATY BANNING FUTURE NUCLEAR TESTS & REDUCING AMERICA'S ARSENAL OF OPERATIONAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS:  SUCH A TREATY WOULD TAKE THE U.S.A. DOWN A DANGEROUS PATH.  FOR SIXTY-FIVE YEARS, THE VERY EXISTENCE OF THE AMERICAN NATION HAS DEPENDED UPON A STRONG NUCLEAR DETERRENT.  THE ANTI-NUCLEAR TREATY WOULD WIPE OUT THIS PROVEN DEFENSE POLICY, REPLACING IT WITH A POLICY OF WEAKNESS.

WOULD MEAN -- THE MOST EFFECTIVE FORM OF MISSILE DEFENSE -- DO WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD & MAINTAIN SUCH A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM?  DO WE HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL?

AS PART OF THE NON-MUSLIM WEST, KEY VARIABLES IN THE LONG HISTORY OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE U.S.A. & MUSLIM SOCIETIES, DATING BACK TO AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE -- WHY ARAB & OTHER ISLAMIC STATES HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS OF THEIR POPULATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN CONTRAST TO THE SUCCESS OF THE U.S.A. & OTHER WESTERN SOCIETIES -- DEVISING A GRAND STRATEGY TO REALISTICALLY ADDRESS THE BASIC CONFLICT OF INTEREST BETWEEN THE AMERICAN NATION & THE FORCES OF ISLAMISM

DEFENDING AMERICA AGAINST THE ISLAMIST JIHAD, BOTH AT HOME & ABROAD:  TAKING THE FIGHT TO THE TERRORISTS, DEFEATING & DESTROYING DESPOTIC, TERRORIST-SUPPORTING & TERRORIST-HARBORING POLITICAL REGIMES, BRINGING CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY TO THE ISLAMIC MIDDLE EAST, & PROTECTING THE AMERICAN HOMELAND -- CONGRESSIONAL FISCAL & LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT FOR PERFORMANCE OF THE TASKS AT HAND
