Sharm el-Sheik Bombings Will Strengthen Resolve Against Terrorists
July 24, 2005
The bombing at the Eyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheik has killed 88, and two different Muslim extremist groups are vying for credit. One says the resort was targeted because of the presence of Israeli tourists. Whichever bunch of bastards is responsible, I'll say what I've said before: terrorism comes from a position of weakness, not strength. And, this will unite the sane denizens of the world (i.e. those opposed to terrorism) even further, against Muslim extremists. Target The West, and The West will respond. In force. I was going to blog some more about our family's great Michigan vacation; we're still at it. But it doesn't seem the time. This incident underscores the importance of choosing (in 2006) U.S. House and Senate members and (in 2008) a president who are fully commited to fighting terrorists and terrorism on their turf and ours; who don't apologize for America's strength and greatness; and who don't make excuses for terrorism. My prayers to the families of the victims at Sharm el-Sheik. Posted by Matt Rosenberg at July 24, 2005 06:31 AM Comments:
Your statement, that “terrorism comes from a position of weakness, not strength”, is a terribly flawed argument. - You seem to forget that we invaded a country (with public propaganda based up on lies) A move that takes American hypocrisy to a new level. This is specially recognized in countries that are fighting terrorists. - The Nazis for example had the strongest position on so-called "terrorists", yet they could not stop the resistance in France or other countries they occupied. - You are not going to solve a complex problem with self-serving simplistic answers, may they be liberal or conservative in nature. - I would suggest you go live in the poorest nations of the world for a few years and leave your ranting little world of American dogma behind.The experience of living in environments without natural assets, with little live options(Michgan Vacation anybody?), with agent traditions and social class structures, may make it possible for you to see that it will take a lot more then simply a ‘strong stand’ to make effective changes.
