There is a great deal of difference between the ”Western Liberal” and the “Left.” The distinction I draw, or to phrase it differently, the inference I draw is that the western liberal’s agree with the foreign policy of Carter and Clinton, as opposed to Reagan and Bush. The western liberal is not anti-Capitalist or anti-America.
What I do not understand is why the delay in the war on terrorism. Terrorism started in the Carter years during 1979 with the kidnapping of our embassy personnel in Iran. However, the war against international terrorism did not begin until Reagan came along, when he sent American bombers against Libya, because of the attack on American soldiers in a West Berlin nightclub.
“Iranians “criminals and kidnappers,” he sent out the warning, “the Iranians should be prepared that this country will take whatever action is appropriate.” Ronald Reagan’s tough talk succeeded where Carter’s reliance on persuasion failed.”
Clinton came along, cut eight divisions and reduced intelligence drastically; spending the money saved on social programs…remembrances of Rome?
On February 26, 1993, terrorist exploded a bomb with the intent of bringing “Tower One of the World Trade Center” on nearly 100,000 people.
Abdul Rahman Yasin, who mixed the chemicals for that bomb, fled to Iraq where he was given sanctuary. It was not until Bush came along that anything was done about it.
“There was no significant counteroffensive against terror during the entire eight-year term because Clinton wanted it that way. Bill Clinton chose to avoid the political risks of averting Middle Eastern terror. Consequently, he left the whole population at risk. National security suffered for the sake of his presidential legacy. During his term as leader of the free world, he gladly passed the responsibility of Iraq over to the UN, resigned our country to “co-existing” with terrorism, and even strove to cover up the full-scale assault underway by Middle Eastern terrorist organizations. The full story has yet to be told concerning the Oklahoma City bombing and Flight TWA 800.”
Perhaps you’re too young to remember that before the Carter administration came the 72 Olympics, when Palestinians kidnapped Israeli athletes, the Entebbe raid, etc.
Islamic terrorism didn’t begin with Carter. That’s idiotic. Please try to clear your mind of its silly ideological blinders before attempting to think, or you may hurt yourself.
I was speaking in the context of America, not Israel.
