Winds of War: Where’s the Blueprint Against Global Jihad?
“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
That’s a popular quote of Lewis Carroll and is a handy thought to keep in mind with our struggle with Islamism. Jeffrey Imm at the Counter Terrorism blog said, “The American government has failed to collectively use [its] formidable brain-power 5+ years after the attack by Jihadists on the American homeland to develop a truly strategic plan to fight the global threat of Jihad and Islamist extremism.”

What kind of war are we fighting? It’s not a cold one, nor a hot one in the traditional definition of the term. I define a hot war as one fighting directly – and on the ground – to defeat those who are promoting and advancing the enemy ideology. In the current case against Islamism, those are the Shia and Sunni states in the Middle East and
Again, what kind of war are we fighting? Well, we’re not just one but two – a Warm War and a Cool War. The Warm War, or an asymmetrical war, is one where both parties do not combat each other within the same 'time-frame', e.g. in cases of guerilla groups that attack the opponent by surprise and at unexpected locations – 9-11 is an example. The jihadists want us to fight this Warm War and slowly bleed us of our troops, wealth and freedoms.
The Cool War is one where an enemy works to undermine the will of the enemy with intimidation, infiltration and disinformation means. It’s the war being waged against our very culture and its most valued principles in an attempt to make our culture submit to the Islamist ideology.
The weapon of choice for the insurgents of the Warm War is the use of terrorism. The weapon of choice for the insurgents of the Cool War is the imposition of Shariah law.
