Have Another?

To begin, this is a wonderfully written piece.

If you are feeding an animal and it bites your left-hand off do you offer its next meal with the right? What the Europeans and many professors in the United States convienently forget is that the radical Islamics don't want concessions or peace accords. They want the world under their control and their religion PERIOD!!!! What these individuals do understand is force and military might. Look how easily the Taliban crumbled when faced with true military conviction and power not the half-hearted efforts the Russians threw at them. Why hasn't Syria, Jordon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt invaded Israel. For two reasons, Israel's own military might and that of the United States. No, if left up to their own devises, the Europeans would be handless and quickly lifeless.
