Liberals seem to admire dictators. They want government to run everything, and they want to run the government.

Who gets to decide what's a terrorist Nation, who creates terrorist Nations?
Those are the questions that real Americans should be asking.
At first blush, the United States appears to be the haven for freedom and human rights portrayed in legend, lore, and the propaganda of its school textbooks and media. However, if one can awaken from the drunken stupor induced by America-Soma, or if one happens to be a resident of another nation besides Israel or Great Britain (the only two nations still deluded enough to truly ally themselves with the United States ), the many headed hydra of the American Dystopia reveals its truly abhorrent nature. Lord Acton conveyed truth when he wrote that "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Despite its cleverly constructed image of a benevolent super-power, those ruling the United States are more corrupt than the power elite of any nation, including those in Bush's alleged "Axis of Evil". Due to its power, military might, and rogue leadership, the United States has also become the world's most significant threat to the perpetuation of life on Earth.

The liberals of the 2000's are no different than the liberals of the 70's. They all think that all you have to do is offer someone a coke and a smile and everyone will be happy and like us and fart pink cupcakes and the world will be a better place.
Utopia anyone?

In terrorism fight, diplomacy gets shortchanged
The Bush administration says it wants to end extremism by addressing underlying conditions, but the money goes to military might.
By Josh Meyer, Times Staff Writer
March 18, 2007
WASHINGTON — President Bush, members of Congress and virtually all counter-terrorism experts have acknowledged that defeating terrorists cannot be accomplished solely by dropping bombs on them. Ultimately, they say, ending terrorism will come only by addressing its underlying causes.
"Our long-term strategy to keep the peace is to help change the conditions that give rise to extremism and terror by spreading the universal principle of human liberty," Bush said in March 2005.
But a close look at the United States' counter-terrorism priorities shows a strategy going in a different direction.
In recent years, the Pentagon has received a larger share of the counter-terrorism budget, whereas "indirect action" programs to win the campaign through diplomacy and other nonmilitary means have struggled for funding and attention, according to a review of budget documents and interviews with dozens of current and former U.S. officials.

Who knows. But they also don't have a plan for if that diplomacy fails. It's all about trying to sound so very peaceful and superior.

Diplomacy with nations that have ties to syria and Iran have actually proved fruitfull in the past. One cannot be a leader and isolationist.

It does in their reality, just not in the real world.
What they don't understand is that once the islamic fundies line up all the politicians, lawyers and teachers and shoot them they will start with all the liberals next (bet they want gun control then).

We don't know if it will work until we try. Why are so many on the right so opposed to even making the attempt? It wouldn't be the first time. Just review the history of Reagan's foreign policy.

Do you think that killing babies and children in Iraq, Serbia or any other country does actually work?
And then you wonder why terrorist attacks take place?
