What you don't seem to get, actually, NONE of you extreme right wing warmongers do, is that the ONLY way we're EVER going to end terrorism coming from a religious population of 1.2 billion people is to get THEM to do it.
Oh. So, now, ALL of Islam is at war with us. Damn, haven't you changed your tune.
The reality is that GWB WAS successful in stopping terrorist attacks in America, as I've previously pointed out today.
But what strikes me about your comment is that the biggest single thing GWB did, the Left has criticized him for, i.e., bringing democracy to Iraq. That's precisely how you do it.
You give these people an opportunity to see what freedom is about and to live in a free environment. The more freedom there is in the region, the less exposure the United States has to terrorism. And the more freedom there is, the more there will be (see: Iran).
In particular, the heart of Radical Islam's war on America is based on false precepts put forth by Qutb. I think it will be much more difficult for these extremists to choose war on the United States when they first have to deal with freedom from theocracy in their own homelands.
GWB had it right. We'll all be dead before that's acknowledged by anyone, I'm sure. But to those who understand the issues, I think it is becoming more apparent by the day. |
