What can the US do about a metastasizing Islam within the country?

When Israel bolted from southern Lebanon, it had many problems. “Barak Barach” in Hebrew means Barak—that is, Ehud Barak—ran away. Israel was having lots of problems with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and memories of those bad days are part of the reasons that Israel does not want Hezbollah to reestablish itself south of the Litani River. Israel’s destruction of Hezbollah’s leadership and fighting capabilities is a victory that Israel does not want to lose in the current ceasefire. Israel’s assassination of the terror group’s chief of staff in a precision strike in Beirut was a sign that Israel will not settle for a return to the threatening status quo.

One of the major problems faced by Israel as she fled Lebanon was what to do with the Lebanese who had worked side-by-side with the IDF against the PLO, Hezbollah and other threats to the Jewish state. In the end, some families of the South Lebanon Army (SLA) were relocated to Israel, while others were left in Lebanon to await their fate. Israel had neither the time nor the program to organize an orderly transfer of fighters to Israel. Like in Hanoi and Kabul, it was helter-skelter, which was an invitation for errors in both directions.

The man arrested for shooting two National Guard members in Washington, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, would have been the most logical candidate to bring to the US after the departure of American forces from Afghanistan. He had worked with American soldiers and the CIA for a decade and, as such, would have been a prime target for the Taliban in its retribution against those who worked with the Americans. So while many unvetted Afghans came to the US via Joe Biden’s disastrous exit and evacuation, this guy would have aced any vetting process due to his direct work with US forces for an extended period of time. And this is the place where the US joins Europe in having a problem: how do you keep Muslims in the........
