Comments on: Another Walt/Mearsheimer lie http://www.yourish.com/2007/10/11/3814 Cutting straight to the point Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:14:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Michael Lonie http://www.yourish.com/2007/10/11/3814/comment-page-1#comment-29060 Michael Lonie Fri, 12 Oct 2007 03:04:35 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/10/11/3814#comment-29060 Actually the 9/11 attacks were the thanks given to us by OBL and the Muslim world for our intervention in the Balkans, which stopped the Serbs from doing to the Muslims there what the Muslims want to do to Israel's Jews. It is also the thanks we got for helping the Afghans fight the Soviets. Even a man as vain and limited as OBL should have been aware of the importance of America's support for that struggle. He spent most of his efforts there working on logistics in Pakistan. He had to see how much America did to make that resistance possible. Could Pakistan have acted as a sanctuary for the Mujahedin, for example, without American diplomatic and military support? Caught between the Soviets on one side and the USSR's ally India on the other, I very much doubt it. Without Pakistan the resistance would have been impossible. As to the question of Israel specifically, I do not think that the USA should apologize for helping prevent renewed genocide, nor do I think we should stop doing so because savage, nihilistic barbarians object to that. If that is what OBL and his fellow savages primarily object to about the USA, I think the USA should wear their hostility as a badge of honor. These ignorant clowns are playing with fire. If we wanted to make war as the Muslims do, making terrorist attacks intended to kill as many noncombatants as possible in order to terrify the others, we could outdo them by orders of magnitude, even without nukes. America has shown remarkable self-restraint so far in this war, as has Israel in the Oslo War. Our enemies should pray we continue to do so.
