Topic: No Truce with Terror!
It's comforting to see common sense break out in newspaper editorials:
John Llyod, "The non-negotiable path of hatred," (editorial). The Scotsman, Sun 5 Sep 2004
Mr Llyod said, among other things, most of what I did in the post immediately before this one - only much more eloquently than I did.
The closing of his article is great:
"The drive to succour the wretched, and more pertinently to bring some form of accountability, or even democracy, to much of the Middle East and beyond, is a duty we shouldn't shirk; but it's a duty which makes sense in its own terms. It won't, or at least won't soon, be an answer to mass murder. The answer to mass murderers now can only be certainty in one's own democratic beliefs, and the strength to fight for them. In that, at least, George W Bush is right.
And so the struggle deepens, and will do until Islam can purge itself of its murderous perversion - or have it done for it."
Well, damn! So much for EVERYONE in Europe hating our guts and rooting for Kerry... but the Scots always were tough.
