Kabud is right. The best way to deal with a snake is by cutting off it’s head.
Mort, you mis-read Omar. I have been reading ITM since the day they started and he has NEVER once tried to shift the blame for the actions of Islam to the West. NOT ONCE. Not even when his Bremmership was screwing pooches by the numbers in Baghdad.
About 2Km’s from where Omar was living at that time.
No, what Omar was saying is that negotiations with Islamic Theocrats and Arabic Despots is a waste of time. It does more harm then good.
Condi agrees with him. Or at least she just said so.
The English had a saying about Arabs. “They are either at your throat or at your feet”. Centuries of British involvement with Arabs was based on keeping them at their feet, which is a lot safer then their throat….

If State wants to negotiate with Iran, fine. They can do that on Mon. and Wed. We bomb on Tue. and Thur. A month of that and the negotiations will get somewhere.
