I just know this will be a big disappointment for you, but I don't give a flyhing f**k what the Arab press or Arab world thinks because, despite your childlike faith, they will never see things our way.
"we come off as nothing more than a bunch of racist cretins..."
Well don't you just have the most dazzling politically correct multicultural cards to toss on the table?
To paraphrase a great president: "My policy toward militant Islam and anyone that supports them is quite simple. We win - they lose." And don't even try to suggest this "deal" doesn't constitute potential additional exposure to the Islamic terrorists.
In other words, take your trembling timidity somewhere else. We're all full up around here.
Very well said. It amazes me how so many adults believe that through sucking up to the middle east that the will suddenly "see it our way".
The administration already tried suck up to the Islamists a couple of weeks ago when the danish muslim cartoons came out. The state department went out of their way to come out against the notion of a free press in order not to offend the muslims.
In return, the Islamists burned down American restaurants and anti-American sentiment increased even though it was a cartoon that originated in Denmark and denounced by the US government.
These guys don't respect weakness - I know that liberals don't understand that but I thought that conservatives mostly did.
I am afraid, sir, that you have me all wrong......
I am one the biggest hawks you will find when it comes to fighting terror, but that also includes knowing who the enemy is.......
The enemy is Radical Islam, not those striving to be like us, within the constraints of their own systems. There isn't a legal reason on the books NOT to follow through with this deal, and all you are doing is reinforcing the Stereotype of the Ugly American...
You may not "give a flyhing f**k" what the Arab press thinks, but if you have any hope of a victory in the war we have folks dying in, you had better start.........
