This piece by Greg Richards should be required reading for those who think appeasement or negotiations with terrorists is a reasonable alternative to victory. Here's why.
"Al-Zawahiri (second in command of Al Qaida) said ( 7/27 tape released) Muslims everywhere must rise up to attack "crusaders and Zionists ... and support jihad (holy war) everywhere...until American troops are chased from Afghanistan and Iraq, paralyzed and impotent...having paid the price for aggression against Muslims and support for Israel."
Greg Richards has it right. Policy wonks and those who believe America should 'cocoon' within its borders and call for a negotiated peace would do well to heed his clear admonition:
"The only solution is the destruction of the aggressor. Otherwise the logic of the aggressor is to keep up the aggression. The aggressor doesnÂ?t want peace, he wants victory. The only way to block that is to inflict defeat on him. There is no third way." ( peacekeepers, cease- fire, a third force, negotiations, etc.)
