The present tendency of too many people to try to appease the Muslims is the same as the tendency of those who believed
that detente would be enough to contain the Soviets during the Cold War.
Where the purpose of the Soviet regime was to destroy democracy and impose communism throughout the world, so
the purpose of radical Muslims is to impose Islam throughout the world.
We ignore this purpose at our own peril.
Sweetness and kindness and political correctness will only be received with contempt.
We need a leader with Reagan's ability to "tell it like it is" and there doesn't seem to be one.
Appeasement has never won a war yet; in fact, it has only made it worse when the time came to fight.
At this time it will only bring contempt for our weakness.
Why the liberals did not learn this lesson from WWI, WW II, the Cold War, and Vietnam is beyond understanding.
The "peace-at-any-cost" crowd is trying hard to hand over our liberty again.
