So okay...let me put on my common sense hat again.
Juan...dumbbell.
No Juan, the solution is NOT about improving America’s image and making us nice guys that kooks like this underwear bomber won’t want to train to blow up airplanes due to their respect for very nice America.
I would point out Israel. Every since Israel has been in existance, the fine, fine Arabs, known for their tolerance and freedom of all religion and peoples, as well as bringing prosperity in abundance to their citizenry, have raised their children to hate Israel. All because, well the despots and dictators running these fine upstanding countries, all with oil wealth that should have every citizen in his own home, happy and warm, sure don’t want their restless citizens blaming THEM, maybe wanting those fat cats out that they may rule themselves. Add an oppressive religion and boom, there you have it, the French Riviera for me, ghettos and despair for thou. Having a Democratic country in the midst of all this, damn...dangerous.
Israel’s done everything to make the Arabs like them, often causing deaths to their citizens, witness that fine, fine Arafat, who’s buried in somebody’s back yard. Arafat should have died long before he did and Israel should have did the killing. Yet they STILL hate Israel. They want all of Jerusalem. If Israel gives them Jerusalem, they move the goal posts. Because they want them and their free election and happy populace OUTTA THERE! Israel’s crime nowadays? BUILDING STUFF ON THEIR OWN LAND!
If Juan thinks these sons of camels will someday love and admire America, an America with free and happy people that the citizens, like those in Iran, might take a fancy to having such their own selves...I got a bridge to sell him.
What we need is a politico brave enough to take the national stage and once and for all....SAY IT LOUD AND CLEAR!
Brilliant! Excellent point, Pat! It’s so starkly true it hurts one’s head to think that some people cannot grasp it. You should bottle that and post it on your blog.
