Nooo. The president considers the governments who give aid, comfort, and arms to the terrorists who have pledged their lives to kill us--a provocation demanding a swift and deadly preemptive response from the United States.
I'd like to see a requirement that before someone writes an opinion about the president's intentions they must listen to and read what he has actually said.
Dear Mr. Bookman:
That makes sense when dealing with other countries which, although hostile, are susceptible to reason, and beyond the reach of the irrationaily inherent in the Arab/Muslim culture.
The one thing that the Muslim culture has always respected is fear, so it seems totally appropriate to employ it.
You may have heard about a little incident that happened on Sept. 11, 2001 which made it clear a different approach is necessary with people who are functionally savages.
The history of man is strewn with empires and civilizations that were toppled by barbarians. The current crop of Huns would dash the whole of the civilized world into a new dark age. The United Nation's lack of leadership at such a crucial time points out its uselessness and the need for the world's remaining super-power to defend the free world.
