It seems so obvious. We have all these incidents as evidence, and people still don't acknowledge what they tell us about the enemy. I guess the best we can do is to keep talking about it and hope more people see the light. (Thanks for your comment.) Anna, It amazes me too. It seems so obvious.

It's very obvious and it amazes me that there are still people who believe that terrorists will stop if we just give them what they want.

I looked at Daniel's site when I received his comment. He's very young. Perhaps he'll come to his senses in time. In his favor, it is probably more difficult for young people to accept that there are real monsters on this planet who are as frightful as the imagined boogeyman in the bedroom closet. After all, they just grew out of the stage where they believed in that boogeyman, and don't want to contemplate that such creatures exist for real. Thanks for your comments on several other posts too. Thanks for your comment, Benning. I looked at Daniel’s site when I received his comment. He’s very young.

As such, he has his own fantasy world to live in. Tjos of us in the real world know that negotiating with terrorists or terrorist-style governments leads, not to peace, but to more bloodshed. War - violence, bloodshed, death - was the answer to the question proferred by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy. Negotiating merely gave these governments the idea that we were weak, fearful, and unwilling to defend ourselves. The same holds with the radical Islamists. daniel is a member of the “War Is Never The Answer” club. As such, he has his own fantasy world to live in.

We just have a difference of ideas, but I don't think you'd be sitting across the negotiation table waiting for your chance to kill me. I think you would come in good faith, even if we disagree. It is tragic, but necessary, for us to face the fact that there are people in this world who want to totally destroy our way of life, and they will go to any lengths to accomplish that. It should be unimaginable, but it is reality. Death means nothing to them - not their own, and not yours. To preserve our lives, acts of self-defense are moral. That's what I'm talking about. And you don't have to give a terrorist a chance to kill you before you act. The only thing that makes sense is to stop him first. I have voted for many democrats in my life, and many republicans. I vote for the person whose position meshes with my own values irrespective of party. There are democrats (as well as republicans) who are willing to defend this country, and all we hold dear. We are not crazy, Daniel. We are right! Daniel, I’m not talking about people like you.

We will never be able to defeat them all. It would be like trying to get all the crazy Republicans like yourself in America to turn liberal. War and deaths only create more terrorists.
