the outcome of the election

Yeah, nice rant.

But since when is "Stop acting like a Bully and herding people into the fanatic's arms by the millions" the same as "Appease them and let them have their way"?

No one said that the fanatics should not be dealt with, or that they'd leave us alone if we'd just left THEM.

But at the moment, The United States are their best recruiters...

I don't agree. Success in the field has been their best recruiter.

Like many EU states agreement with the PLO that in exchange for granting PLO agents immunity from arrest and prosecution for terrorist activities, these countries obtained from the PLO a promise of nonviolence on European soil.

Like a massive train bombing in Spain, that changes an election prompting Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, to announce that he intends to pull Spain’s military forces out of Iraq. Terrorists around the world are now emboldened to use the mass murder of innocents as a political tool.

C. Bradley Thompson of the Rand Institute said "And how has the United States responded to this 25-year Reign of Terror? It has done almost nothing; it has responded with shameless appeasement. They bomb, we investigate; they bomb, we call for "restraint"; they bomb, we negotiate."

I'll end with something more hopeful...
