Why We Fight
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday 4 Nov 2001 | By Leon Fuerth

This is a really good editorial.
Please go visit the Washington Post Web Site to read it. Go HERE to read the article.


My Favorite Statement made was along these lines...


"...As regards the threat of weapons of mass destruction, options that would have been unthinkable earlier ought now to be back on the table..."


TOPICS: Editorial; Foreign Affairs
KEYWORDS:
"...All governments should understand that action by the United States will occur when it suits our security needs, whether or not we have acquired evidence that would stand up in court. In that way, restraint on our part will be valued rather than taken for granted..."..."

Indeed!

Usual complaints about Bush couched as hawkishness. This person worked for goron and no doubt wants the Kyoto protocols to be part of our engaging of the world...like we weren't already.

I do like the same line you did.

Along with Morton Abramowitz, Fuerth supported Bin Laden allies. He is running for his life

911 is spin off from the doctrine of humaniatarian warfare

Recent events can leave us in no doubt that should weapons of mass destruction become available to terrorists, they will be used. In effect, the war against international terrorism has now become a battle to prevent such an event from taking place on our soil. To win such a war we will need psychological victories, and in this regard, the capture of bin Laden would be an important moment. But the more fundamental requirement is to disrupt the ability of terrorist networks to function in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

"Elsewhere" especially includes THE BALKANS!!!!

Roll back ALL islamic gains in the Balkans! DESTROY the narcoterrorist UCK and the "Bosnian" islamic supremacist clique and its nest of terrorists and subversives!!!
