Yes, if our country doesn't deserve to be attacked by the bastard -- and we don't -- then the only fault of our country and it's forereign policy is that we didn't appease the bastard enough. That is the argument that some here on this thread make.

The argument is actually different. You know that if you walk at night in a bad neighborhood, you can get mugged. Is that appeasement?

I say bomb the hell out of Osama and various terrorists. AND don't walk in the bad neighborhood without a good reason to do so.

Simple cause and effect.

If I don't walk in a bad neighborhood because I may get hurt, that would be appeasement of one sort with small consequence. However, if LE doesn't work in a bad neighborhood because they may get hurt, that would be appeasement of a major kind with serious present and future consequences -- freedom.

That is the argument.

Either you missed my previous post or you had no answer to it....here it is again....

Regardless of ones stance on support of Israel one thing is certain.....the only reason there is any semblance of stability in that region is our support of israel. If we walked off the entire region would melt before the worlds eyes. Israel would probably be forced to nuke several countries to defend herself but in the long run with no world support she would be dismantled by the arab/muslim nations. Then we could watch them fight each other until someone like sadam contoled the whole region and with the economic power that brings watch him begin to spread his dominance throughout the world....you want on that Americ first island?
