President Trump's major speech in Saudi Arabia has garnered some praise from commentators relieved that he did not explicitly insult the assembled Islamic leaders. A great speech befitting an American President, however, it was not. In fact, it was an invitation to crack down on their opposition by claiming they are terrorists. It said nothing of American values, aside from our need for security from terrorists.
Trump's solution to terrorism was as simplistic as the phrase he repeated: "Drive them out." The more sophisticated Arab and other Islamic leaders in the assembly no doubt thought as they listened, "If only it were that easy." They would have reflected on the practical problems with which they have dealt for decades: the attractiveness of the terrorists' message to young and disaffected youth, the difficulty of creating an alternative path, the high unemployment of young men, and the lack of a counter ideology to that of Daesh (ISIS) and Al Qaeda.

Oh, Please! Too many believe this trash. God Bless President Trump.

Fake News who would have let Germans roll into Paris
Don’t Drive them out, roll them up and snuff them.
....don’t panic...just because mooslem blow up kids....keep a level head...( as long as you can)...and above all,listen to us.
Too late. The Germans already did. I get your drift.
This author is a fool whose policies
are partially responsible
for the dead and wounded SCORES
of children tonight in Manchester.
“Too many believe this trash”
I don’t see the point of taking the time to post trash.
Bizarre. The only way to deal with anyone with ISIS affiliation is annihilation. This is the epic battle of good vs evil.
Sounds like there would be blowback for taking such action.
Aren’t the libtards upset when there is blowback against innocent peoples?
Screw anti-West Dummycrats.
Sounds just like something Obama would say.
Party like it’s 732.
It will be infinitely worse for terrorists.
If your goal is to destroy liberty, terrorism helps you achieve that goal.
When elected leaders say that the citizens must go about their business as usual to show that the terrorists are not winning, they are saying that there is an acceptable level of terrorism. There will be more attacks and they are not going to change their policies to try to prevent additional attacks (ie, the fight to stop the temporary travel ban).
To bring this to a head, the citizens need to do the opposite, stop going to public venues, arenas, malls etc. and let the elected officials know that their policies are not working and there is no acceptable level of terrorism, it must be eradicated.
When businesses suffer, they will join the fight to change policies to prevent future attacks.
It’s time to drive these bitch ass liberals out along with their muslim buddies.
Enough.
Would it be correct to say that corruption creates terrorism then?
Sure, let us keep the uncivilized in, they just need jobs, not to care about who they live with. What a recipe for getting respect.
If only Osama bin Laden had been given the opportunity for a good education and a job, he would not have started this reign of terror/s
