The Bali bomber thanks the anti-war protestors for their opposition to American government policy. Bet that makes them proud. This dimbulb sees no inconsistency in murdering 202 innocent people, and then making a statement like this:
"For all human beings to stop now in this world, destroy all of the destructive weapons . . . if there were no weapons then peace can be created," he said.
The world will be closer to peace when this scumbag is roasting on a spit in hell. Excuse me for briefly succumbing to my dark, unforgiving, intolerant side. It happens.
The link is courtesy of Michael Totten, who adds some pointed comments to those very antiwar protestors. While not equating their position with support for terrorists (I don't either!) Totten suggests:
You need to stand unflinchingly against terrorism everywhere, always, forever. This “of course we are against terrorism” line doesn’t cut it. At least one terrorist thinks he’s your buddy. He said it, not me.When you reserve most of your judgement, criticism, and wrath for Western governments while speaking barely a word against Islamofascist death squads, it sends funny signals to our enemies. I know you don’t support terrorists and fascists. Well, when the victims are Jews it looks like some of you do.
But the rest of you don’t, and your message is not getting across. Louder, please. Draw a line in the sand.
Your domestic political opponents are not your enemies. Hamstringing America and defeating the Republican Party is not more important than defeating terrorism.
Your enemies are those who are trying to kill you. Make the proper distinctions. Get your priorities straight. Trust me, you don’t want to hear Osama bin Laden, or whoever is making those audio tapes, say he’s your pal. It could happen if you don't watch it.
Well said, Michael.
