The terrorists should rethink their policies

A lot of lip service is payed to the terrorists by leftists insisting that US policy is detrimental to "peace" and stablility in the middle east. The left "understands" the pain of Muslims who have been "humiliated" by US policies and actions in the middle east.

It's strange that the Muslims in America are against being lumped into one group by Americans, and yet they feel the pain of Palestinians and Lebanese as their own. They lump themselves together for political puposes and demand to be seen as victims of US oppression, even if they are filty rich jet setters from the Gulf or comfortable Americans living a middle class lifestyle. The left is also guilty of lumping Muslims together into one mass, claiming that the people of Afghanistan have the right to kill Americans for something that is happening in another Muslim country. By that reasoning, the US had the right to invade Iraq for 9/11. Many Muslims support the terrorists in their goals. Of course most Arabs would choose not to live under a Taliban style regime either. But lets look at what the much lauded 9/11 attack has achieved for the Muslim world.

Americans have invaded Afghanistan. Americans have instituted a government that is friendly toward the US. American soldiers have made the Taliban run like scared little rabbits over the border to Pakistan. In other words, they have routed the Taliban from Afghanistan. There is some small resistance, but a little over a 100 US soldiers have been killed in a war with so-called "fierce" warriors, trained to kill American troops. More people die in Baltimore from street violence each year than have been killed in 5 years of war with the weak and ineffectual Taliban fighters. Perhaps most of the really dangerous Taliban fighters are in prison at Guantanamo. I dunno, all I can say is that I am singularly unimpressed by Osama's band of gay brothers.

Americans have invaded and occupied Iraq. The death toll for US soldiers is pathetically low compared to the numbers suffered in other wars. The Iraqi's have turned on each other and are slaughtering each other by the thousands. Guess what my Muslims brothers and sisters. Every dead Iraqi means less Muslims. Not even mad Jewish scientists could have known that this would happen, or could they? In any case, why play into their plans?

Isreal has invaded Lebanon again, with the tacit approval of Bush, and slaughtered over a 1,000 Muslim civilians and destroyed much of the infrastructure of south Lebanon, creating misery for hundreds of thousands of Muslim and Christian Arabs.

Iran is being harassed by the US and the international community. By supporting terror, and demanding the destruction of Isreal, the Iranian regime has proven itself dangerous to the West, not a good thing to do when one wants to go nuclear.

So, I am hard pressed to find one single positive development that has come about by the actions of Osama and his ilk.
