Do we really care what words the inane press chooses to use?
We know the press is against conservatism, has hate for President Bush, promotes propaganda and will always find fault with any action taken by a Republican president.
How big a deal is a word - hostage-taker or terrorist?
We have no control over the words they use - so, we just find and develop the alternative sources of news - the internet, our email lists, talk radio, letters to the editors, etc.
....The great canard in current thinking is that by brutal actions we become like our enemies...
So, this means no war?
This is merely a statement from anti-war proponents and we should in no way allow it to color our decisions.
With this statement, under indian attack, the settlers must wave flags and seek to negotiate. Wonder how that would have ended.
With this statement, the attack on Pearl Harbor would have been meet with negotiations or a discussion with all other nations as to how the U.S. should react - wonder how that would have ended.
With this statement, Hitler's assault would have been met with negotiations or a blind eye. Wonder how that would have ended.
With this statement, the slaughter of the Russian children would be met with negotiations and any endeavor to prevent another assault no matter what had to be surrendered. Wonder how that would end.
This:
"[The] ancients were honest enough to admit to, and practice, the ruthless extermination that is needed in the
face of implacable, inhuman enemies. We can do no less if we wish to survive."
...is my view - NOT the failed ideology I refer to.
Agreed. Nagasaki and Hiroshima saved lives and was the civil and least painful approach in the end.
Yep, for Kerry.

Sad but true apparently.
War is a sad reality of human nature. To believe otherwise is to invite the sword.
Maybe it was partly a warning to the Islamofascists and maybe it was partly to curtail the international flack that international sympathizer nations (like our RATs) would generate. In this way, Putin could still pursue the bad guys and kill them off while still looking reasonably humanitarian. In the event of another attack down the line, the moon god klan would know that their families maybe up for grabs too. Just a guess.
Muhammad approved of hostage taking and ransoming them, using them as bargaining chips. It's all in the KKKoran. These Chechnyan psychos merely emulate their prophet as the KKKoran commands them to do. The life of Muhammad is put forth as the most exemplary ever lived, one that all Muhammadans must copy.
As the menace grows clearer, I think we may see the sharpening of a lot of lines - all around the world. There are many in Europe that despise what their weak and treasonous leaders have done and are doing to destroy their countries. Their counterparts here, RATs, seem to be in deep doo-doo at present. We shall see...
