No, we're not giving terror a new country. We're going to crush it *everywhere*, but what we aren't going to do is attempt to crush it all at once.We are dividing the terrorists up and crushing one group at a time. First in Afghanistan, then in Iraq, then elsewhere and so on.
I understand your impatience. I understand your reluctance to engage in strategies that appear to give short-term rewards to the enemy, too.
But there is a larger plan going on here.
Arafat and his terrorists have been around longer than Al Queda. There is no plan here, but a continuance of current US policy towatds the ME. The terrorists will be rewarded with a state and their terror will be looked away from just like there terror is being looked away from even as they have no state, even as they murder Americans. Aid continues to their corrupt and bloody hands instead of invoking the policy of not allowing terror states to emerge, as Bush declares. Instead of bringing Israel into the war on terrorism, we continue to distance ourselves from her war that has been going on longer than ours. We do all this on the basis of pandering to the Arab world and the Europeans. More blood of Jews in Israel is destined with this plan. No one is asking the US to crush any terror enemy here. Israel can take care of its own enemies (at the same time these same enemies are enemies to America as well). The enemy here gets more rewards as it has been getting more and more of this for the last 10 years. If the administration was serious, it would look at this terror history. Instead, it continues on its middle east adventures for "peace" as previous administrations embarked upon.
