These thugs understand only one language: power. They consider appeasement and uncertainty to be signs of weakness, and they are probably correct. In confronting these terrorists and their supporters with overwhelming strength, awesome courage, and uncompromising resolve, President Bush achieved far more and brought the world closer to peace than did all the "peace activists" and appeasers combined!

If the Nobel "peace prize" had any meaning--which it doesn't--President Bush would retire the trophy.

Exactly!

Negotiate from a position of strength (power) not weakness.

Saddam tried negotiating from a position of weakness as he was dragged up out of the rathole, and it got him a spot on worldwide TV, being inspected and deloused.

You are so right. Trouble is you only get that prize for acting like you are trying to bring peace. Actually trying to do so, gets you grief from the international media instead.
