The Real Threat To World Peace

The Real Threat To World Peace

 

ON the streets of London, Britons wave banners and chant: “Stop Bush.”

 

On the streets of Istanbul, Britons are carried away in body bags.

 

Why aren’t the protesters shouting: “Stop bin Laden”?

 

Are they so blinded by their anti-American prejudice that they can’t see who the REAL enemy is?

 

The bombs show the importance of the Blair-Bush war on terror.

 

As rescuers battled to save British lives, protesters in London were dancing and cheering after toppling their mock statue of President Bush.

 

Have they no respect?

 

They just show their ignorance of how precious a commodity is the liberty they take for granted.

 

The threat to world peace comes not from the United States or Britain.

 

It comes from cold-blooded killers like Osama bin Laden and his al-Qa’ida suicide bombers.

 

The war on Saddam Hussein, which deposed an evil and dangerous tyrant, was a legitimate action against a man who defied the United Nations for a decade.

 

Have the London marchers already forgotten what happened in New York on September 11, 2001?

 

That murderous attack on the West came long before the Iraq war. So did the Bali bombing which killed nearly 200 innocent people.

 

So did the hotel bomb in Kenya, which killed 16, and the rocket attack on a jet at Nairobi airport.

 

The list of atrocities is long and bloody — Jakarta, Casablanca, Bombay, Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, Najaf and Djerba.

 

The misguided protesters claim Bush and Blair are terrorists for declaring war on Saddam. But they forget the suicide attacks on Baghdad by Iraqi terrorists.

 

Those bombers didn’t care if their victims were fellow citizens, the Red Cross or American aid workers.

 

As President Bush has said, we can’t put the horrors of 9/11 behind us as if we are waking from a dark dream. The attacks that followed 9/11 were no dream.

 

In this country everyone has freedom of speech — even Saddam’s lickspittle toady, the revolting Labour MP George Galloway — but surely this was beyond bad taste.

 

It was the sickest day on which to hold an anti-war demo.

 

We should pray for the families of all those killed and wounded.

 

We should give thanks to the men and women in the security services, the police and the armed forces who do a brilliant job of protecting us.

 

And we should direct our anger against the terrorists, not the good guys.

Or perhaps we should stop for a moment to consider why the terrorists feel compelled to do what they do. As long as the US keeps imposing its will on other countries and carrying out repeated repression people will continue to carry out terrorist attacks. Howevere wrong they are to do this, the simple fact is that they will. If you really want to stop the terrorist attacks, the best way to do it is to highlight what America is doing to countries all over the world, and encourage them to stop.

Another quality well thought out argument there Zeal. I've spent loads of time thinking about this, and reading about it (from a number of different sources) and the conclusions I come to are that however wrong the terrorist are, they are doing it because of the way America has treated their countries. The only way you;ll get them to stop is by stopping America from carrying out its repressive imperialist policies. Or perhaps nuking the rest of the world, but I don't really fancy that option

I you really knew how many countries over the years the USA had invaded and destablised, how many democratally elected goverments were overthrown by them you'd realise.

Don't for one minute think all this started on 9/11 because it didn't, the USA were murdering innocents long before the CIA trained Osama Bin Laden, the only difference was we didn't call them terrorists

Zeal - just try and find out about what the US (and ourselves) did in Chile, Nicaragua, Haiti, Grenada, East Timor, Diego Garcia, Panama etc...

 

I'm not running away from this argument, I'm actually quite enjoying it, but unfortunately I now have to go to a 3 hour lecture on linguistic analysis <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
