Larry Elder is a nigger, an uncle tom.
: "War is not the answer."
:
: So said the bumper sticker on the
: car I parked behind. Early for my
: haircut, I decided to sit a bit and
: ponder the gravity of that message.
: "War is not the answer" --
: to what? To non-war? To, say, the
: Japanese sneak attack on Pearl
: Harbor? To Germany's invasion of
: Poland in 1939? To the simultaneous
: multi-Arab nation attack on the
: newly United-Nations-chartered State
: of Israel in 1948?
:
: The bumper-sticker driver,
: undoubtedly, knows of a
: "peaceful" or
: "diplomatic" response to
: all of history's wars. Since he or
: she completely rejects the notion of
: a "just war," I decided to
: wait a bit in hopes that the driver
: might return to enlighten me.
:
: What to do, for example, with the
: president of Iran, Mahmoud
: Ahmadinejad, who directly threatens
: the United States? He said,
: "God willing, with the force of
: God behind it, we shall soon
: experience a world without the
: United States and Zionism."
: Only recently, he elaborated. In
: talks in Qatar with Palestinian
: Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh,
: Ahmadinejad said, "[T]he
: Zionist regime was created to
: establish dominion of arrogant
: states over the region and to enable
: the enemy to penetrate the heart
: Muslim land." Haniyeh said
: Israel was "on the verge of
: disappearing." "There is
: no doubt the Palestinian nation and
: Muslims as a whole will emerge
: victorious," the Iranian
: president told Haniyeh.
:
: Since "war is not the
: answer," how would Mr./Ms.
: Bumper Sticker respond? Ignore it?
: Apparently, Ahmadinejad does not
: mean it. Take action first? Of
: course not, since, if "war is
: not the answer," then
: presumably "preemptive
: war" is not either.
:
: What about our military's recent
: report of "smoking gun"
: evidence of Iran's direct shipment
: of munitions to
: "insurgents" in Iraq?
: After free elections in Iraq where
: nearly 80 percent of eligible Iraqis
: voted, after the establishment of a
: constitution, after the
: establishment of a multi-ethnic
: government, the Holocaust-denying
: country of Iran sends money,
: munitions and intel to destroy
: Iraq's fledgling government. Advice,
: please.
:
: Israel, the country Iran seeks to
: "wipe out from the map of the
: world," pulled completely out
: of the Gaza Strip. In return, the
: Palestinians sent rockets into
: Israel and kidnapped a soldier.
: Meanwhile, in southern Lebanon,
: under the noses of the United
: Nations "peacekeepers,"
: terror group Hezbollah, financed by
: Iran, built a stockpile of thousands
: of rockets, a substantial portion of
: which ended up cascading down on
: Israeli towns and villages during
: the Hezbollah/Lebanon/Syria/Iran war
: against Israel. What, then, is
: "the answer"?
:
: What of World War II -- a
: catastrophic conflict resulting in
: over 50 million military and
: civilian deaths? Winston Churchill
: wrote that if France and Britain had
: taken early action to stop Hitler,
: the entire war might have been
: averted. But, again,
: "preemptive war" is still
: war, is it not?
:
: Iran claims it pursues uranium
: enrichment for peaceful purposes.
: Yet the International Atomic Energy
: Agency cannot corroborate those
: claims. Meanwhile, members of the
: United Nations, like Russia, sell
: nuclear technology to Iran. China
: negotiates deals with Iran to ensure
: a continuous supply of oil. If
: "war is not the answer,"
: what about selling nuclear
: technology when the buyer says that
: a fellow United Nations state should
: be wiped out? What's the answer to
: one of Ahmadinejad's predecessors,
: Hashemi Rafsanjani, who said,
: "[T]he use of an atomic bomb
: against Israel would totally destroy
: Israel, while [the same] against the
: Islamic world would only cause
: damage. Such a scenario is not
: inconceivable."
:
: But that's just Israel. What about
: Europe and America?
:
: Osama bin Laden's 1998 fatwa urged
: Muslims to target American civilians
: as "a religious duty."
: Michael Scheuer, who created and ran
: the CIA's bin Laden unit, says that
: in 2003 bin Laden got a Saudi sheik
: to issue a fatwa authorizing the use
: of nuclear weapons against
: Americans, to retaliate for Muslims
: killed in the "holy war."
: Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein,
: for his book "Al-Zarqawi:
: Al-Qaeda's Second Generation,"
: interviewed several of bin Laden's
: top lieutenants, including the late
: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Hussein
: outlines al-Qaeda's strategy of
: seven phases -- the first one
: beginning as an
: "awakening" for Muslims
: worldwide following the September 11
: attacks. The plan culminates with
: the "definitive victory"
: of "one-and-a-half billion
: Muslims" and the establishment
: of a global Islamic caliphate by
: 2020.
:
: The Baker-Hamilton Commission wants
: "dialogue" with Syria and
: Iran. But the United Nations
: implicated Syria in the
: assassination of former Lebanese
: Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. More
: recently, assassins shot to death
: Pierre Gemayel, the high-ranking
: Lebanese industry minister, and
: another critic of Syria.
:
: Oops, I was now late for my
: appointment. So the
: "answer" to war must await
: my haircut and mustache trim.
