Terrorist plot
The world watches in horror as the media reports yet another terrorist plot in Great Britain. Questions are being asked about why these brutal acts of savagery are being waged against the West. Former President Clinton was interviewed in Sunday’s Rocky Mountain News, saying how Muslims feel out of place in the West, alluding that economic differences might be fostering the terrorist’s hatred, as displayed recently in Great Britain.
The fact that the culprits were doctors should remind us that terrorist recruits are not just poor Middle-Eastern youth. The West must face this ongoing threat realistically, not out of ignorance or denial. Their conviction challenges the relativism that permeates Western culture. Terrorists regard the West as “Dar al Harb,” the house of war. Terrorists demonstrate this truth with conviction by the extremes they go through to inflict harm at their own expense.
Yet when Muslims choose to live in the West, they are allowed to build Mosques, practice their faith, and adhere to many of their cultural preferences.
Muslims allow none of these practices by non-Muslims in their countries.
It has been overdue for moderate Muslims to speak out and take definitive action to help guard the world from being victimized by this radical ideology.
We have watched newsreel footage of British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlin, as he foolishly attempted to appease Adolph Hitler to avoid an inevitable war. Just as foolish is to believe that economic appeasement will stop the menace of terrorism. Perhaps Clinton should spend more time researching the subject of terrorism in his library before voicing solutions that are ignorant of the real causes of this worldwide menace.

Ya Clinton has it all wrong and Bush is right on attacking Iraq after 9/11. After all Bush is so well read in areas of foreign policy, Bush says they hate us for our freedom so they must be attacking us for our freedom. It couldn't possibly be our foreign policy and us building military bases on their holy land. At the very least Clinton speaks the english language and can put whole sentences together. But don't misunderestimate Bush's strategerie.

Posted by Michael D on July 17, 2007 07:26 PMWell said Michael D, Bush has made mistakes, unlike Clinton who bombed a Chinese embassy, or an aspirin factory based on faulty intelligence. Also his definaition of English was very well spoken considering a divorce court would never buy the argument that a blow job doesn't mean sex. Listen, no politician is every right in all areas. As for terrorists, not all muslims are terrorists, but I challenge ANY PERSON to be able to identify in a crowd which one will have a bomb, rifle or other weapon and which ones would not with perfect accuracy.

And yeah that Clinton - bombed an aspirin factory on faulty intelligence. Sure glad Little Boy Bush always does his due diligence and never went off half-cocked with faulty info. That could cause a real problem ..
