Back in the 1980s, Muammar Khadaffy declared a “Line of Death” across the mouth of the Gulf of Sidra, claiming the entire body of water as Libyan territorial waters. In doing so, he to the US (specifically, the US Navy and President Reagan) “You Shall Not Pass”.

Reagan’s response was simple: he ordered a US Navy carrier group into the Gulf of Sidra.

The winning “Draw Mohammed” cartoon was exactly the same: like Reagan, the cartoonist simply did what the mohammedans violently proclaim that he cannot do.

Exactly. Pamela Geller is doing what the pResident in the White House and his gov’t cronies should be doing...protecting our U.S. autonomy.

Good analogy that. An in both cases, not taking any action would just embolden the enemy to demand more.
