Wanna Rethink That???

And now, some quotes on terrorism in light of the attempted airline bombing on Christmas Eve. They might want to rethink their positions.... My comments will be in green.

I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality in a unifying faith far removed from the headlines of violence, destruction and terrorism. -- Cat Stevens (Oh really?? Seems like every time we turn around your religion is blowing something up!)

The war against terrorism is terrorism. -- Woody Harrelson (No it's not, Woody. It's letting the world know that we won't tolerate the killing of innocent people by these bastards.)

Fighting a war on terrorism is like fighting against crime. We can never hope to eradicate crime, so we shouldn't bother fighting it. -- Craig Bruce (So, what? No laws? You are a mushhead, Mr. Bruce)

If you are talking about terrorism, you need to sit down and understand what is making these people put dynamite around their waists and blow themselves up. -- Lakhdar Brahimi (We understand. These nuts hate western civilization and wish to take the world back to the Stone Age.)

An escalating, violent tit-for-tat may lead to terrorism. -- Mary Douglas (Not if we wipe them out first, chickie.)

Let me be very clear: We monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States. We don't have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence. -- Janet Napolitano (No, you didn't, Jannie. You screwed up royally. Want me to send you the help wanted ads?)

I do not believe in terrorism, violence, destruction, murder, pre-emption, or War. -- Roseanne Cash (I do not condone murder, senseless violence, or senseless destruction. Your mentality is part of the reason the jihadists have become so emboldened.)

Clinton was very early on aware of the problem of international terrorism. -- Sidney Blumenthal (Then why didn't he get Osama Bin Laden when he had the chance, Sid? He may have been aware, but his failure to act was a precursor to 9/11. I hope that bothers him until the day he dies.)

I admire President Chavez for his strength to resist the United States. Instead, Bush is waging a war of terrorism against the world. -- Cindy Sheehan (You have disgraced your brave son's memory, Cindy. Move to frickin' Venezuela if you love Chavez so much. Maybe Obama will greet your plane when you land.)

Terrorism is in good part an effective government propaganda; it serves to deflect attention from governmental abuse toward a mostly imagined, highly dangerous outside enemy. -- Mark Poster (Tell all the victims of terrorism the enemy is imagined. They'll beg to differ, you twit.)
