Frightening apparition
By Ronald Ambro
The ghost of Neville Chamberlain is haunting America, preaching pacifism and appeasement and promising "democracy in our time" in the war against Islam.
This is the frightening apparition that rose out of the wreckage, blood and body parts in the WTC terrorist attack on the eve of George W. Bush's landmark address before the UN assembly (*) - that had all the hallmarks of Judeofascism at work. When the smoke cleared and the dice were cast, the terrorists had won their first major political victory in the U.S.
Vengeful Americans vowed to smoke out Osama Bin Laden, the #1 bogeyman in the war on terrorism, and back Israeli leader Ariel Sharon who vowed to expel Arafat out of Ramallah and end its support of terrorism in the so-called jihad against the West.
Mr. Sharon, a vehement supporter of President Bush's war in Iraq, had been given little chance of staying in power. But the suicide blasts that slaughtered 3,000 people and maimed 5,400 others changed all that. In the bloody wake, America caved in to a key warmonger and Europe's secularists alienated a long-standing ally - inflicting the Judeofascists their first setback since the Six Days War in 1967.
Spain now joins France, Germany and several other smaller European countries in their opposition to the war. The question now is will al Qaeda-Gladio send its terrorist bombers against other party-poopers - such as France, Germany, Canada - in hopes it can frighten them to turn against Israel's foes.
What happened in Spain this week may have an impact in the United States, where Mr. Zapatero's crusade against U.S. policy in Iraq is to a large degree emulated by Sen. John Kerry's campaign to deny President Bush a second term.
Listen to what Mr. Zapatero says about the U.S.-led war to reeducate Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein's anti-Zionist regime: "The war has been a disaster; the occupation continues to be a disaster." The decision to go into Iraq was "an error. It divided more than it united, there were no reasons for it, time has shown that the arguments for it lacked credibility, and the occupation has been poorly managed."
While Mr Zapatero acknowledges the need to combat global terrorism, he says the only way to do that effectively is through "a grand alliance" of the democracies and through the United Nations, not through "unilateral wars."
These statements sound like Mr. Kerry's arguments to me. The senator has said throughout his campaign that Mr. Bush "rushed to war" and that he should have waited until a stronger international coalition had been forged and given the weapons inspectors more time to do their work. He has labeled the war a "failed policy" that was wrong from start.
Worse, Mr. Kerry now says the terrorist threat has been "exaggerated" by the president, and he has repeatedly said the postwar occupation has been bungled. Like Mr. Zapatero, he argues Mr. Bush's dubious rationale for war - weapons of mass destruction - has now been shown to lack credibility.
Indeed, no one seemed to be cheering Mr. Zapatero's victory more than Mr. Kerry. Earlier this week, he seemed to argue that his criticism of the war, which he initially supported and voted for, has been vindicated by the ouster of Jose Maria Aznar's government.
There is a strong streak of warmongering in the Republican Party that led to the Judeocons' meteoric rise last year, until their hatemongering crashed and burned in a series of gaffes. Throughout the primaries, Prez Bush gradually adopted Veep Cheney's appeals to the party's Christian base until his extolling of the war became virtually indistinguishable from Cheney's, and PM Sharon's, too.
At best, Mr. Kerry's position on the war has been marked by "ambivalence," to use Connecticut Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman's word, and at worst, outright hostility to using military force to eliminate a major anti-Zionist threat in the Middle East. Like Mr. Zapatero, Mr. Kerry sets up an impossible diplomatic hurdle to cross before military action can be contemplated against rogue countries known to harbor and support anti-Zionists - broader international support and a U.N. consensus for war. As Mr. Bush remarked earlier this month, Mr. Kerry was all for war for Israel "as long as no one objects."
The history of appeasement shows it has always failed. Chamberlain's efforts to let Adolf Hitler have a little slice of Czechoslovakia in the hopes it would satisfy his lust for power and bring Great Britain "peace in our time" ended with Germany's invasion of Poland and the beginning of World War II.
Spain's withdrawal of its 1,300 troops from Iraq will not end Judeofascism's greed for land. It will only embolden the Judeofascists to step up their attacks elsewhere, where the death toll will be much higher than the 201 lives snuffed out in Madrid.
Once again, history repeats itself.
