Think for a moment about the elections in Spain this past weekend, and tell me how the Spanish electorate behaved any differently after the Madrid bombings last week than Ronald Reagan behaved after the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut were bombed in 1983

The attack didn't happen in some far away land. It happened in New York City on 9/11/01 and Madrid on 3/11/04. The Spanish gave into the horrible terrorism that happened on their home soil.

Not exactly the definition of bravery, IMO.

In August of 1999 Bill Clinton issued formal pardons to 16 members of the Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Armed Forces of National Liberation (known by its Spanish initials FALN). This group was responsible for 130 bombings throughout the U.S. in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Bill Clinton was never taken to task for this unprecedented "capitulation" in the face of terrorism. In fact, he traipses around the world to this day (with the full protection of the U.S. Secret Service), earning about $8 million per year making idiotic speeches to anyone who is willing to pay a whore's price to hear him.

Knowing all of this, who the f#ck is the United States to lecture any other country in the world about "capitulating to terrorists?"
