Belichick Vs. The Islamonazies
When the Patriots staff sits down to draw up a game plan against an opponent they have at their disposal information, reports, tape, on the skills and abilities of that teams individual players, and how that opponent utilizes them. The formations they use, recent trends, successes, failures, injury report, and so forth. For example, this weekend they are playing the Colts, the Colts as they are right now. Not the historical Colts of Johnny U. or Payton Manning, but this Colt team, with its players, and its skills and weaknesses.
When we engage an enemy we do the same thing, if we want to be successful that is. In this war against global terrorists we identify the players, their skills, and how they are being utilized right now. We gather intelligence, watch as things shift, try and stay as much on top of it as we can. We are not fighting some monolithic enemy. We are fighting a very complicated, wide spread, ever changing multiplicity of people, particulars, events, formats, societies, beliefes, economies, geographies, etc. etc.
If we want to lose, the best thing to do would be see them as one, Islamonazies, and respond accordingly.
