The goal of Babylon’s Covert War is to educate by sharing personal, professional, and academic experiences the reader might otherwise not have known or linked together. History has illustrated much to mankind, but as time passes generations seem to forget about the lessons learned or either through individual or societal influences they conveniently forget. The book discusses a wide variety of unconventional warfare topics, religion, strategy, and history throughout the last millennium. There are those that have “speculated” on the current War on Terrorism, describing it as a phenomenon that is new and emerging only in the last several decades. The truth, however, is that the United States and its allies, depending on which decade and century one is discussing, has been dealing with a multitude of radical forms of Islam since the founding of this great country. History has demonstrated that Islam, in its twisted beliefs, does not have the ability to grow and merge with the prosperous Twenty First Century.

            This site also offers other links, in that, readers can begin to gather the needed resources and decide for themselves whether the threat is real, imagined, or all together nonexistent. Without intelligence collection and analysis and those that apply history to the threat, the nation grows vulnerable and weak. Our enemies are finding out that we are not weak, despite the mumblings of politicians in Washington D.C. that seek solutions that appear on the surface to favor military soldiers, but over time will only end in defeat as it did in Vietnam. When the enemy has agreed to follow a certain policy or resolution and then violates those terms, we as a nation have no obligation to continue such reckless hope by obeying the terms set forth, that in some way we may hold ourselves to a higher standard. Our enemies want us dead and care not that we have set forth policy of obeying international law.

With this said, the reader must understand the broader perspective that not all wars are the same and only lessons learned can be applied for future use, albeit, not relied on as a total answer for a given conflict, but applied as a foundation to which intelligence collection and analysis is built upon. There will be critics to this book, there will be those that will stand up and shout, “fear”, and those that will do anything but learn from this work, and that is exactly what the enemies of the United States count on. By sharing what has been learned and what will come from Islamic terrorists and organizations in seeking the destruction of the Western World, the reader will have a greater appreciation for what President Bush had to undertake and those that served and are now still serving are tolerating in the miserable areas of the world.  Incursions around the world and the spikes of violence are all related to Islam and its intolerance for other religions, cultures, and societies that are different. I have gathered specific sources to prove this threat has been long lived and until it is met with force and destroyed totally it will not subside. Iraq is one example in many and until leaders and public alike deal effectively with this threat, jihadists will continue their attacks.
