You are spot on, Mike! Terrorists fear strength and feed on weakness, not the
other way around. God, why is this concept so friggin' hard to understand??
People say "if we attack Iraq, we will be bringing more terrorist attacks upon
ourselves!" B as in B, S as in S! THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY! WAKE UP!
Unless we kill them first.
OBL (and SH for that matter) has made a critical error in his assessment of US
resolve-- the lesson of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor went unheeded. Thank
God *we* learned the lesson of Chamberlain in pre-WWII.
Wahabi Islamic Fascism is here, folks. The sooner we confront it, the sooner
it will be expunged from the earth. And then the world *will* be a safer
place-- for the West AND the Muslim World.
