Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. The President of the United States
has declared War on Terrorism. Over 80% of the U.S. population supports
the President in polls that typically lean 15% away from any Republican
President. In other words, there are probably less than 5%
Americans who don't support the President in his ambition to rid the world
of Terrorism.
Countries around the world have signed the pact to seize financial instruments of terrorist organizations and those who sponsor them. The majority have given aid dollars, intelligence, or military forces to help in the fight.
Let's turn back to the Mideast. Iran says "yeah we support you" but continues to breed terrorism and is probably hiding half the Al-Qaida despite their muslim sect differences. Iraq of course hates everything western except our weapons especially if they are buying. Lebanon and Syria breed the suicide bombers that attack Israeli citizens almost daily. When the checkpoints were solid, they used mortars instead.
The largest number of nations who breed or support Terrorism are in the Middle East and North Africa. It is no coincidence that the countries involved are all predominately muslim and have education systems similar to that of the Taliban of Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia. Their holy leaders preach death and suicide and the Holy Jihad against anyone with indoor plumbing. First the Jews and then their friends. The cradle of civilization has become the cradle of uncivilization. We cannot be friends of the terrorists and we are devoted friends to Israel. Therefore we must defend our friends and immediately strike out at our enemies.
Saudi Arabia continues to breed terrorists at an incredible rate. Give them 60 days to change their educational system and eject or turnover terrorists, or else. Similarly, we need the same approach for Pakistan whose efforts to show how anti-terrorist they have become doesn't fool anyone. Iran and Iraq breed em like flies! And Syria and Lebanon feed them and house them. Pakistan is the country that grew the Taliban including the Mullah Omar, and supplied them with tens of thousands of Pakistani soldiers. Saudi Arabia bred many of Al-Qaida's leaders including Al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden. Iran is hiding them and Iraq cheers them on. These six nations alone probably account for 90% of the terrorists trained in Afghanistan. 90%!
And of course Israel's other neighbors are quietly not being helpful. Lebanon and Syria.
If you were to draw up a list of countries supporting anti-terrorism or not, you wind up with nations in four columns; "Happy to Support Terrorists (HST)", "Pay Lip Service, but do little or nothing (PLS)", "Can't Help (CH)", "Ready To Go get 'em (RTG)". Guess where most of the Middle Eastern and more than a few North African countries fall?'
With the world at war against terrorism, why do we put up with Hamas and Hezbollah and their puppets in Fatah? They must be eliminated immediately as the number one active terrorists in the world today. To do otherwise is inviting their nurturing of more terrorists to come into our countries.
To illustrate our point, we have built a set of tables to show the stance
of countries on the War on Terrorism. Note that countries that are
indicated with an X in "Can't Help (CH)" voice a willingness but do not
have the economic or military capability necessary to help (in the case
of Switzerland, their constitution does not allow military participation
and it is questionable how much financial help can be had as well).
The "Pay Lip Service...(PLS)" column are those who say they'd like to help
but publicly don't do much and typically still help in breeding radical
Islamic terrorists or hiding them.
