In my post to you:
it's our survival, stupid!
Literally, that's what it is! Its MY POLITICAL survival, stupid!
Like other "regimes" we're criticizing, they want to keep their "chairs." They’ll blow us all up before they even think about how to really take an uncompromising stand against terrorists!
Forgive me, but why is this necessary if they use common sense? Why would standing firm prevent them from keeping their "chairs"? Do they really think that most of the American public even knows enough to be aware of what they're doing? Or, is it just the media messing up the works and stirring up the uneducated that they're afraid of?
