["Religion of Peace" Strikes Again]

The Muslims need to take heed soon.  Plan A appears to be going into terrorist/repressed countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq and providing people the room they need to promote freedom and some semblence of democracy.  If these countries fail to take advantage of the opportunity granted them, how much longer will it be until America gives Russia free reign to wipe out of the Chechans, Israelis a free pass to bomb the heck out of the Palestinians, and perhaps we justify bombing the heck out of the Syrians and Iranians with much less regard to civilian casualties and winning hearts and minds.

Right, like the Russians and Israelis are going "easy" on the Chechens and Palestinians at the moment. And why on earth should what happens in Afghanistan and Iraq make so much difference to stateless Chechens and Palestinians? Do you expect them to say "well, our circumstances haven't improved, but Afghanistan and Iraq are democracies so that's alright then" ?

The idea that the war and the Bush administration's policies are just FUELING the influx of terrorists and that appeasement, like what France, Russia and Germany subscribed to will work to quell terrorism and Islamic Fascism.

I don't think anyone argued that there would be no terrorism whatsoever if Iraq was not invaded. As other posters are pointing out, Chechnya is unrelated to Iraq and what happened with Iraq was unlikely to have much effect as regards that problem.

I wonder if France and Russia were glad they didnt help "foster more terrorism" by opting OUT of the Iraq war.

 

Another liberal talking point debunked.

 

Love it.

Huh? What exactly was debunked and how?

[So how long before France caves again?]

I love the way that France's refusal to go along with the US's adventure in Iraq is somehow interpreted as "caving in". When exactly did France "cave" before? I doubt there's much chance of the French reversing this policy. I wouldn't be too suprised if these French journalists were released in much the same way as the British journalist kidnapped a couple of weeks ago was released when Al-Sadr intervened (not saying Al-Sadr is going to get the French hostages released but someone may well lean on them to let them go).

[I'm out of here....]

Congratulations.
