		<description>GreatBeast, I agree, I was worried about Tony &quot;Third Way&quot; Blair keepin&#039; it up, but he&#039;s hangin&#039; in there, isn&#039;t he? Anybody remember the bayonet charge? That freaked out the islamonazis!

John Howard is hard core on our side because he understands what&#039;s at stake. He&#039;s already seen the first of many battles in his own country last summer (winter). 

We have the Canadians helpin&#039; us out in Afghanistan, if only they had enough of a military to help in Iraq too.

Poland is also balls to the wall on our side. Their special forces (the &quot;GROM&quot;) has been there with us all the way.</description>

		<description>What kind of partnership can we have with Iran?  Wait.  I&#039;ve got it.  We stand up against a wall.  The Iranians shoot and kill us dead.  Granted that could take some time.  We could do combinations.  We stand under buildings and the Iranians pull them down on top of us (for those of non traditional sexual preferences).  Or, we could gather in cities and they blow up the cities.  I think most combinations of U.S citizens dying and Iranians killing them would work pretty well for them.  Let&#039;s hear it for peace in our time.  Yay.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a lot going on in this thread that warrants comment but I&#039;ll only address what some are portraying as Blair&#039;s going soft on US. 
These are merely words uttered a a fancy dress party. The fact is that the British &amp; the Australians have had our back throughout the operation. I never expected Blair to be so stalwart, him being a Liberal and all. Our allies have been above reproach in Iraq. You never heard any gripes about how all the allies worked together or squabbles about the plans for the operation. And for a time there, it seemed like the Brits were suffering heavier losses than we were. No, the British &amp; the Australians have been nothing but stand up guys. I salute them, every manjack of them.
Until some &lt;strong&gt;action&lt;/strong&gt;is taken that evidences British squishiness or intent to bail out precipitously, then I am going to revere their dutifulness.
Blair is required to say a lot of things and he must always appear eager for peace but until he &lt;strong&gt;does something&lt;/strong&gt;  contrary to the mission, he should be accorded the highest respect.
(I wish I knew more about the exploits of our other allies but I do know that you could hardly ask more of our British brothers in arm.)</description>

Tony737&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly!  When did America and other nations become so afraid of winning?  Why are we so opposed to defeating our enemies?  WHY???  Surely there&#039;s more to this than political correctness!  Maybe it just comes down to who has and who doesn&#039;t have balls!  I miss Ronald Reagan!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Well then Iran needs to be stopped the minute a Nuke see&#039;s daylight. You don&#039;t think a successor to Bin Laden is going to wave a Nuke around and make threats do you? NO. He&#039;s gonna launch the sucker. All I can say is, if one goes off, that place [IRAN] will be off the map.</description>

		<description>Yesterday we had Al Qaeda putting their two cents into Lebanon. I thought it was disturbingly odd that they seemed to be saying the same thing Hezballah was saying. Now, it makes more sense. Considering the fact that both organizations hate the rest of the world, should we be suprised to see them cooperating from time to time. Both hate America, Israel, western Democracy in the ME, the Saudi Royal family, etc. If FDR and Uncle Joe could make nice to take out Hitler, why not this?</description>

Riehl World View

If the MSM reports at Hot Air are true, you can forget about approaching Iran for help in the Middle East. Not that I&#039;m big on the idea, myself.

Bush doesn&#039;t seem to be, either. But it&#039;s getting so it is hard to tell what&#039;s going...</description>

<p>If the MSM reports at Hot Air are true, you can forget about approaching Iran for help in the Middle East. Not that I&#8217;m big on the idea, myself.</p>
<p>Bush doesn&#8217;t seem to be, either. But it&#8217;s getting so it is hard to tell what&#8217;s going&#8230;</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Strong militaries are the only thing that keeps a country’s enemies at bay

thedecider on November 14, 2006 at 12:37 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I am simply blown away by the European suicide pact.  Can I imagine America being weak?  Let&#039;s see what happens in the next two years. (Also a correction - the fellows last name is &lt;strike&gt;Pipponen&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;strong&gt;L&lt;/strong&gt;ipponen.)

I served in the military years ago, but history teaches me to remain wary of standing armies.  I believe the military is needed in today&#039;s world, but citizens armed with military grade weapons are a better deterrent.</description>

		<description>Allahpundit and Michelle,
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/issuesideas/story.html?id=eb74b136-3729-42a1-821b-77366f7af920&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Please have a read over this article from the Michael Coren in the &lt;em&gt;National Post.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Discussing an interview with Dr. Tawfik Hamid, MD, author and activist once was a member of Egypt&#039;s Al-Gama&#039;a al-Islamiyya. He was trained under Ayman al-Zawahiri and has great insights into the motivations behind Sunni suicide/homicide bombers.

&lt;blockquote&gt;He&#039;s a disarmingly gentle and courteous man. But he&#039;s determined to tell a complacent North America what he knows about fundamentalist Muslim imperialism.

&quot;Yes, &#039;imperialism,&#039; &quot; he tells me. &quot;The deliberate and determined expansion of militant Islam and its attempt to triumph not only in the Islamic world but in Europe and North America. Pure ideology. Muslim terrorists kill and slaughter not because of what they experience but because of what they believe.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

From a position of experience, he goes on to demollish the canards of the left:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I&#039;ve heard this poverty nonsense time and time again from Western apologists for Islam, most of them not Muslim by the way. There are millions of passive supporters of terror who may be poor and needy but most of those who do the killing are wealthy, privileged, educated and free. If it were about poverty, ask yourself why it is middle-class Muslims -- and never poor Christians -- who become suicide bombers in Palestine.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But then, he gets into the controversial meat of his thesis, something that&#039;s taboo to discuss in the national media.

&lt;blockquote&gt;He leans back, takes a deep breath and moves to another area, one that he says is far too seldom discussed: &quot;North Americans are too squeamish about discussing the obvious sexual dynamic behind suicide bombings. If they understood contemporary Islamic society, they would understand the sheer sexual tension of Sunni Muslim men. Look at the figures for suicide bombings and see how few are from the Shiite world. Terrorism and violence yes, but not suicide. The overwhelming majority are from Sunnis. Now within the Shiite world there are what is known as temporary marriages, lasting anywhere from an hour to 95 years. It enables men to release their sexual frustrations.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

and later:

&lt;blockquote&gt;This partial explanation is shocking more for its banality than its horror. Mass murder provoked partly by simple lust. But it cannot be denied that letters written by suicide bombers frequently dwell on waiting virgins and sexual gratification.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s a fascinating read. What is your take on it?</description>
