We Support you, Mr. President, But... What About Terrorists Living in America?

Dear Mr. President:

We support your actions in the wake of this serious American crisis. We are particularly impressed with your challenge to leaders of foreign nations that may be harboring the individuals responsible for these outrageous acts.

However, we would like to challenge you, and your administration, to live up to the same standards that you set for the leaders of other nations who harbor such terrorists. Are you willing to bring to justice the international terrorists who are known to reside in these United States, who are prominent, and who continue to exert influence, regardless of the political embarrassment that this could involve?

If you are a man true to your word, we have one international terrorist whom we suggest that you arrest immediately. This individual not only committed numerous acts of terror against the people of various nations, similar to those that we suffered in the United States last week, but proudly boasted about these acts in the U.S. media. He directed hundreds of planes to wreak similar terror from the skies in another part of the world. He openly acknowledged that he was taking these actions on behalf of an infamous organization closely associated with, and bankrolled by, Osama bin Laden.

Unfortunately, we know that you are well acquainted with this individual. His name is WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON. For two and a half months, he directed the American military to bomb the Yugoslav nation and the Serbian people. The Serbs were staunch allies of America in two world wars, and, even during the darkest days of the Cold War, Yugoslavia remained more pro-U.S. than any of the other nations of Eastern Europe. Yet, when Clinton faced too many problems from his own domestic crimes, which had cost him an impeachment and almost his presidency, he used his clout in NATO to launch an all-out aerial attack against the Serbian people.

For two and a half months, he and his administration continually duped the American people with tales of, and with attempts to fabricate evidence of, "ethnic cleansing." This "ethnic cleansing" was supposed to remind the unsophisticated of World War II Germany. Of course, that was a poor analogy, not only because the accusations later proved groundless, but also because Clinton's enemy, the Serbs, were one of Hitler's major targets for annihilation. Nearly three years of NATO occupation has produced no evidence whatsoever of the evils that Clinton spoke of. Whatever angers Bin Laden about the U.S. could scarcely be more delusional than Clinton's ravings about Yugoslavia. But Bill Clinton used the American military as an air force for the KLA, even through the KLA was known to be a terrorist organization that also received support and funding from Osama bin Laden.

The months leading up to Clinton's terrorist acts against the Serbian people, saw numerous vicious attacks perpetrated by bin Laden's KLA terrorists of all races, even against their fellow Albanians. A courageous leader was trying to combat the problem in as civilized as manner as possible, much as you are doing now. That man, Slobodan Milosevic, now sits in prison in The Hague, in the Netherlands. The Netherlands, of course, is infamously the land of abortions for all, legal and plentiful street drugs, legal and plentiful prostitution and, of course euthanasia, sometimes even involuntary euthanasia. Yet, Clinton considered those people moral enough to put the president of a sovereign nation on trial merely for taking a stand against terrorist organization backed by Osama bin Laden!

Mr. President, your actions against terrorism are good. But, if you are truly serious, you must also bring "Evil Bill" Clinton to justice. It is abundantly clear that he is a domestic criminal; Congress did not use everything that they had against him during the impeachment proceedings. A credible woman has stated on numerous occasions that he raped her. In addition, although it has not been proven that he is a murder on the domestic front, he has had more of his enemies die for mysterious causes than anyone in the history of mankind. His actions in the Kosovo War were the same as some of the offenses for which Nazis were hanged at Nuremberg.

He actually perpetrated one war crime that even the Nazis had refused to commit. During World War II, Manhattan Project scientists feared that, even if the Nazis were unable to develop a functional atomic bomb, they might drop radioactive dust on military stationed in England. Clinton dropped "depleted uranium" on CIVILIANS in Yugoslavia.

Furthermore, Clinton was aware that American public expected him to take appropriate measures against known terrorists such as Osama bin Laden. Instead of taking any effective action, Clinton waited until he needed a public relations boost to get the impeachment testimony off the front pages, and then he chose to bomb an aspirin factory in the Sudan, and some EMPTY terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. This phony, token effort could only have been intended to deceive the American people into believing that he was serious about combating terrorism-while at the same time AVOIDING any actual harm to Osama bin Laden and his followers!

Mr. President, you must arrest Bill Clinton. You must bring him to justice for his many crimes, including terrorism and criminal acts of war in support of Osama bin Laden. If you do not hold Clinton accountable for collaborating with this heinous individual and his followers, it will become clear that American does not have the moral fortitude to win this war and you will be a hypocrite for all history to witness.

Sincerely and respectfully,

T.V. Weber

P.S. To clarify any misunderstandings about the nature of the above inquiry, we repeat: We are staunchly opposed to terrorism and we are in full support of your current actions against terrorists.

I've got another good idea. Let's get the bastards who bankrolled and trained Bin Laden and his people. I submit that we should immediately bring charges against RONALD WILSON REAGAN and GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, for their role in the creation and support of this monster.

Jeez...

Didn't Reagan call the Taliban "Freedom Fighters"? Looking at how things turned out, I'm wondering who else he thought were "Freedom Fighters".

The digging up of mass graves must be a real embarassment.

Though I am loathe to place blame on earlier administrations for any role in this terror, I can appreciate your positions.

When America throws support behind any foreign group (the "lesser of two evils" in most cases) we take a chance that they will eventually turn on us or become worse than the group that we originally opposed.

Such is life. Always a trade off. The end result of which one cannot determine at the time it is made.

Let me tell you something Zingdog, you newbee, Ronald Reagan did more for America than any Democrat president in this century or any other. Your boys, Clinton and Carter, were treasonous for the former and incompetent for the latter. Take your act home, homeboy.

Hindsite is 20/20. We should rember that countries do not have friends, they have interests. I still think that in 1980, the Soviet Union was a bigger threat than Osama bin Laden is now. I think the Taliban's actions show that they have little loyalty to those who have assisted them in the past. Also, the Taliban was just one of several factions that the US supported through Pakistan. The defeat inflicted on the Soviet military in Afghanistan was a major factor leading to the complete collapse of the Soviet Union.

Perhaps one of the most important lessons of history is that it is the unintended consequence of actions can be as important as the intended ones. After all in 1917, the German Government sent a sealed train carrying Lenin to Russia. Their reason for doing this despite their knowledge of Lenin's radical politics was to replace the Russian government with one that would agree to an armistice. The Germans hoped that they could remove Russia from the war and move their armies on the eastern front to the western front before American armed forces could join the fight in France. Germany lost the bet, but we had to deal with the Soviet Union for the next 74 years.

It's a tough situation. Egypt is the only state in the region to make peace with Isreal. The Saudi's are a moderating influence within OPEC and largely friendly to the West. But both governments face long term threats to their legitimacy. I heard that Egypt has had _zero_ economic growth since 1950. ZERO. And that's with significant US aid in wake of the Camp David Peace Process. That kind of economic failure is destabalizing.

"Also, the Taliban was just one of several factions that the US supported through Pakistan". What I've heard -- correct me if I'm wrong -- was that there were many more moderate groups that we could have supported, but someone noticed that the more radical the groups, the more effective they were and so eventually military aid got directed towards the most radical elements, who then took control over more moderate groups once the Soviets withdrew.

Part of the strategy in Afghanistan was to make the Soviets fear Islamic fundamentalists expanding beyond Afghanistan to the Islamic dominated republics of the Soviet Union.

Errr ... maybe I mis-read it but I think Zigdog was being sarcastic to the article, not denigrating.

Without commenting on the _wisdom_ of the strategy, I think it's safe to say it was very effective.

#5 I agree with you totally. We have had to consistantly help these lessers of two evils - seems like forever. We will support the northern fighters of the Taleban now, and they will hate us just as much. It is like a chess game. Our Marines, or THEM! We are in a world war, and we better keep that in mind - especially when these "detained" terrorists start whining to limp wristed feral judges. Due process is the law in the US until a couple more attacks.

Although I might have disagreed with their reasoning, Reagan and Bush, Sr., at least had some coherent justification for supporting the Afghans against the Soviet Union -- even if, in hindsight, it trained the likes of Osmam bin Laden. However, by the time Clinton took office, the Soviet Union was no longer any threat and Clinton had NO reasonable justification for supporting Islamic terrorism in the Balkans. NONE, except that all that blood money from Albanian drugs and prostitution helped fill his campaign coffer. And please, don't tell me he is above all that.

Do I find "digging up all those mass graves embarassing"? Only one -- the "mass grave" in NY from 9/11/01.
