…there are many in this world who still reside in the seventh century and they have declared violent war against us (the brutes!). They understand the meaning of courage and intend to prove their own particular brand of this virtue by lopping off our heads and flying aircraft into our buildings.
I have a hard time putting such impulses into the “courageous” category. Rather, I consider radical Islamists losers & chickensh!ts, without actual purpose (bin laden & zawahiri both exiled from their respective countries, zarqawi was a wanted criminal in Jordan etc.)
But apologism appeals to liberals (perhaps because they were weak and cowardly as children?) precisely because they think that America is the bully and they want to humble the ugly brute.
I completely agree with that observation. Plus, liberals seem to be rather miserable human beings and will be happier when (they perceive) that government has forced the misery to be more equally shared.
And as a result of this failure of moral courage, the Iranian revolution will likely fizzle and the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan will be for naught.
Not everything that happens in the world is a function of Obama’s position on it, or lack of position on it.
Many Iranians, it seems, weren’t and aren’t counting on support (verbal or otherwise) from this fickle American administration, which, in my view of the planet, is wise on their part.
