Had we followed the road of appeasement and surrender you seem to advocate following the Cold War (and was that your solution to the Cold War too?), Osama Bin Laden would currently control Saudi Arabia. He would have nuclear weapons. He would have a real army. He would also have much of the world's oil wealth.

Whether he would first start a nuclear war to destroy Israel, or use nuclear blackmail and terrorism on Europe to force them to be even more accepting of Islamism so as to speed the coming of Eurarabia isn't sure.

What is sure is that both of those possibilities would be horrible for America and for the world. Certainly, the perpetrators of the "tragedy of Andalusia" in the words of Osama Bin Laden, aka Spain, would be especially targeted.

Well one immediate goal of AQ was to remove America, and the Saudi monarchy, from Saudi Arabia, this was hardly the extent of their ambition. And every surrender and withdrawal by the west has spurred them on. We could, of course, bury our heads in the sand, as several European states have done, and hope the terrorists just go away and the historical record of how such a policy works be damned.

Fortunately for us, and the world outside of the Islamists, we Americans are made of sterner stuff.
