This article isn't " banging war drums " and if you see " racism ". it's in your own perception and you are therefore projecting. Most FREEPERS , though vast reading , intellect, and the ability to reason logically, want the USA to have a spine, not capitulate with terrorists, and know that all of the constant whinging about " talking " and diplomacy doesn't work with the Muslim fanatics.
There is indeed a Muslim mind set. When and IF they see someone / soe country as strong and not willing to take their form of garbage, they stop pulling it. They have looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong memories, and what happened many centuries ago, still consumes them. OBL hyperventilating over the Moorish loss of Spain, is but one example. The way for us to stop terroism in its tracks, is to to show them that we aren't the " paper tiger " they think we are.
Screw 'em! Allow those who takes this opinion to be in the line of fire since they love the Paliban so dagum much.
