Negotiating With Terrorists-The Real World

I would like to focus on one aspect of this article that simply amazes me. The reference to the tenth paragraph:

“A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker asks himself, "Which is more important: being liked by everyone, or protecting my family?" The terrorist pulls a knife to kill the peacemaker, but the peacemaker pulls a gun and kills the terrorist first. The United Nations condemns the peacemaker's use of unproportional force. Many of his peacemaker friends turn against him.”

For all of the TV drones out there let’s put this into your perspective. I don’t know of a single football team that spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on equipment and training programs only to hit the field and not play like they mean it.

Now many liberals will say “this is not a game, people’s lives are at stake” and that is precisely the point.

Peace through superior firepower. We shoot more so you we are not shot at. Whether you are laying down suppression to flank or lobbing arty shells at Lebanon.

The liberals are complaining that our boys and girls are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan but if we went in there and bombed the crap out them first and cleaned up later they would tear President Bush apart so which is it?

Unproportional force? Liberals, are you insane? Well… yeah, must be.

Great post grampus.
