Soros: We need to break this cycle of violence (War On Terror Is Counterproductive)
Guardian UK ^ | 8/31/06

We need to break this cycle of violence

The concept of the war on terror is counterproductive, exposing everyone involved to further danger.

About Webfeeds August 31, 2006 09:07 AM

Israel's failure to subdue Hizbullah demonstrates the many weaknesses of the war-on-terror concept. One weakness is that even if the targets are terrorists, the victims are often innocent civilians, and their suffering reinforces the terrorist cause....

The people of Palestine yearn for peace and relief from suffering. The political - as distinct from the military - wing of Hamas must be responsive to their desires. It is not too late for Israel to encourage and deal with an Abbas-led Palestinian unity government as the first step towards a more balanced approach. What is missing is a US government that is not blinded by the war-on-terror concept.

That's right. No more WOT. More insider trading.

Yeah, that's why al Qaeda continues to attack America from Afghanistan with impunity - not.

The people of Palestine yearn for peace and relief from suffering

Yeah, that's why they voted for Hamas.

Well, that's two whoppers in two paragraphs. No need to read the rest of this drivel.

That's right George, we need to win the WOT, defeat those who wish us a violent end.

Then we will have peace.

Peace comes through victory not appeasement.

Personally, I would like to see every democrat run on the premise that "the war on terror is counterproductive."

"Palestinians" yearn to INFLICT suffering. Palestinians are feral people. They need to be put somewhere sufficiently isolated and remote that they can no longer harm anybody other than themselves and they need to be kept there at least until all of them now living are dead, and probably until they die out altogether.

Yea...Soros...just let your ilk run the world. The path to peace is to give in and not fight...so you and yours can take hold.

Hitler, Tojo, Stalin, Mao, Pot Pol, lots of guys have thought like you...and many, many more died under their "peaceful" leadership than in the wars that were fought to put most of them down.

Want the cycle of violence to stop...? Tell it to the two-faced islamics who negotiate at the peace table and bomb innocent civilians through underground tactical tunnels, blowup planes, slaughter those who don't convert...

Post should have come with a mega-barf alert!

That's right.
We need to break the cycle of violence.

The best way to do this is to KILL THEM ALL.

Make a desert and call it peace. Worked for the Romans.

I am often amazed that two articles, diametrically opposed in content and meaning, are so frequently posted next to each other.

I thought we tried all this under the Clintons! More of that 'equalize all nations' lunacy.

I prefer this "cycle of war" to Clinton's cycle of "terrorist attack - threats - non action". As long as we're taking the war to the hajis, it's all good.

"What sluggards, what cowards have I brought up in my court, who care nothing for their allegiance to their lord. Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest."

And so with these words, King Henry II, was able to rid himself (and directly or indirectly, cause the death) of one of his worse adversaries and nemesis, Thomas Becket.

Ah, were it so easy to heap these scornful wishes on George Soros and have it come to pass, as I believe he is probably one of the gravest threats to our grand Republic today and with his wealth and power, his obsession with the destruction of our Democracy is more than a "meddlesome nuisance."

Am I suggesting that I wish ill towards Soros and hope he is somehow "removed" from mankind?

I comment--you decide!!!!

I stopped at the same point.

Are people such idiots that they believe this nonsense?
