Simplest answer in the world.

*Fear* is what creates the Taliban. *Fear* is what allowed Hitler to imprison and kill the Jews. If you are *afraid* of what might happen as a result of decisive decisions in the face of moral ambiguity, then you are sentenced to a life of hiding from shadows.

>> Would he attack us? Maybe. But you have to accept that there's at least the possiblity that he wouldn't. <<

But if you accept the H0 hypothesis he might not hurt us and take no action, then both H1 (he will supply our enemies with WMD) and H0 are in play. This is not a simple matter. Saddam has demonstrated his willlingness to use WMD and, if he gets the nuclear option, he will become the next North Korea. This is a simple computation of predilection+means.

The "I am *afraid*" line leads to A 9/11 scenario with Nukes instead of jetliners.

THAT is much more to be feared than cowardly homicide bombers. Appeasement emboldens the adversary. 9/11 can be laid in Clinton's lap.

We need to remove the world of the scourge of Islam. We did it with Naziism, Fascism and Communism. The only hope to remove *fear* for your children and childeren's children is to join conservatives to make the world safe against Muslims. We grew up with the fear of the "Big One." Now that does not exist.

We can do it again.

Together.
