Dipperhead, I hear the Taliban is telling the US to back off the Pakistan fighting right now or they will attack not only Afghanistan but also the USA. My question to you....will you bother to get your family when you run away?

Slightly different from Spain. Why did Morocco and Turkey get the "treatment" from AQ? Clearly the bar is set high but in reality everyone will get the "treatment" sooner or later, just so they'll know what's in store for them. Doesn't bode well for appeasers no matter how you look at it. AQ makes the rules and Eurabia dances. "Many Spaniards were among those killed recently in Morocco, where a jihadist bomb attack on an ancient Moorish synagogue took place in broad daylight. The attack was on Morocco itself, which was neutral in the recent Iraq war. It seems a bit late to demand that the Moroccan government change sides and support Saddam Hussein in that conflict, and I suspect that the Spanish Communist and socialist leadership would feel a little sheepish in making this suggestion. Nor is it obvious to me that the local Moroccan jihadists would stop bombing if this concession were made. Still, such a concession would be consistent with the above syllogism, as presumably would be a demand that Morocco cease to tempt fate by allowing synagogues on its soil in the first place. The Turkish government, too, should be condemned for allowing its Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to visit the shattered synagogue in Istanbul after the latest mass murder (thus becoming, incidentally, the first Turkish prime minister ever to do so). Erdogan is also the first prime minister ever to be elected on an Islamist ticket. Clearly, he was asking for trouble and has not yet understood al-Qaida's conditions for being allowed to lead a quiet life. Not that he hadn't tried—he prevented the U.S. Army from approaching Baghdad through what is now known as the Sunni Triangle. He just hasn't tried hard enough. slate.msn.com
