Bush Won't Label Arafat A Terrorist

President Bush, who has long equated terrorists with those who harbor them, yesterday carved out an exception for Yasser Arafat because the Palestinian leader "has agreed to a peace process."

Uncle Bill's reply #6 is a spectacular domonstraion of the hypocritical appeasement in the current Bush position with Arafat and Hamas.

Bush policies toward Arafat, Hamas and the Saudis are pure appeasement of terrorists which in the end will lead to more terrorism than what would otherwise be if there was no appeasement. It is pay me now or pay me later. If Bush wants to delay paying now by avoiding confrontation with these terrorists, the price later when it has to be paid to stop the terrorists he is appeasing will be much, much higher in terms of bloodshed. This is a hard lesson of history.

Bush and the State Department are hypocritical to say that Arafat and Hamas and the Saudis are not terrorists and freedom fighters instead. Bush policies and hypocritical definitions, posturing and appeasement on terrorism with Arafat, the Saudis and Hamas is undercutiing his moral authority around the world (and even with Conservative Christian Republicans) to wage war against AlQaeda aand other state sponsored terrorist groups (Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc) who want to attack US interests.

There are Democrats that also back the Bush policies with Arafat and Hamas and the Saudis. These Democrats are hypoctical appeasers in my opinion as well. The US can be hurt badly in the long run by these hypocritical appeasement policies.
