I have oft contended that liberalism is derived from a combination of brain damage and having Satan somewhere in your family tree. Some think that I'm joking. Wrong! Why otherwise would anyone align themselves with Yasser Arafat, a barbaric, murdering terrorist? I recently saw a television report that 32 pacifists have joined Arafat in his headquarters and have vowed to stay until the standoff is resolved. This says more about the pacifist movement than anything I could say. Their concern is for the life of one of the world's most notorious terrorists. They apparently condone the wanton murder of innocent people who threaten no one. They apparently condone the teaching of young children that being a suicide bomber is a heroic rather than an evil action.
Pacifists apparently believe that murdering innocents is a form of conflict resolution. Where else but in the liberal mind would such lunacy be concocted?
The Israelis do not have a policy of destruction of the Arabs. The Israelis do not send children into Palestinian areas with bombs attached to their bodies.
They have the right and the duty to defend themselves by taking whatever action is required. This is such a fundamentally simple concept that to deny it one is either brain damaged or evil. Ergo, a liberal!
