#1 Of course, the answer is to lie back and enjoy it. A very Arab view. Why didn't we think of that?

#2 Yes, lie back and think of England. And Bali. And Madrid. And Theo Van Gogh. And NYC. And......

#3 Whoever is writing the propaganda now is really bad. Even the north koreans do much better than this. This must be the same guy that wrote that other piece.

#4 "Never was much of an International Islamist 'terrorist network' - WRONG, as both the COld War NATO-WARPACT Blocs knew decades ago the 1979 Iranian Revolution was heavily influenced and instigated by ideologues or adherents dedicated to both militant, anti-Western Radical Islamism, and ditto hardline or militant Marxism-Communism. THE USDOD, US INTEL, and NATO KNEW AND BELIEVED THAT AN INTEGRATED, PRO-MARXIST ISLAMIST NETWORK WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME, ESPEC GIVEN THE HIGH TO PROHIBITIVE LEVEL(S) OF ASSISTANCE THE FORMER USSR WAS GIVING RADICAL-ANARCHIST MARXIST IRANIAN GROUPS. Remember the Palestinian Liberation Front's, etal. violent efforts to usurp and control the Palestinian cause from Arafat's PLO and other local groups -the PLF wilfully launched extensive, typically bloody attacks and murder campaigns against any Pals group in favor of, or at least tolerant of, of collusion wid the US-NATO for Pals rights, including tolerant or moderate Pals MARXIST pro-Soviet groups. THE BOLSHEVIKS WERE INITIALLY
"HOMEGROWN", AS WERE THE MAOIST CHICOMS. THE GWOT > THE "STATUS QUO", COLD WAR OR POST COLD-WAR/PRE9-11, IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE FOR AMERICA'S = WEST'S ENEMIES. THE GWOT, REGARDLESS OF APPEARANCES, AND HOWEVER PERFECTLY OR IMPERFECTLY FOUGHT BY ANY SIDE, IS A DE FACTO WAR TO THE [INEVITABLE] DEATH! To "Ignore It" = Armistice/Stalemate = will kill youse later.

#5 Well sure, if you ignore it long enough, you tend to forget about it.

Like the 1993 WTC bombing, the Beruit barracks bombing, African embassies, Munich in 1972, etc.

Which, I have no doubt, a lot of folks have either forgotten or find irrelevent.

#6 Bullshit like this is obviously written for Arab consumption.

#7 Sometimes not doing much is the right thing to do. Not doing too much would have been the right response in 2001, too.

You mean kinda like Jimmy Carter? Dim the national Christmas tree? Boycott the Olympics? Put the flags at half mast?
He don't live here no more. I prefer killing the bastards. Preferably, where they live.

#8 The correct course would have been to invade Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan, seize the oil wells and behead who we want, including the Arab News, and chase the rest off to die in the desert. Either that or apply Mohammed's solution for the Qurayshi Jews. Take your pick, Wahabi assholes.

#9 "The right goal was not to fall into Osama Bin Ladens trap ..." Is the trap where we lose because Bin Laden must hide in a cave to survive? Very clever these Arabs. ROFL.

#10 He's not an Arab. He's Canadian. I remember his series "War" on PBS back in the 80's. Wasn't too impressed with it as I remember and he was a pompous know it all windbag...

#11 The investigation was not very successful, and twenty-one years later most of the culprits have still not been punished.

Um, you're proud of this fact? Or just willing to overlook it?

#12 MYWAY.com reports that the 17 had planned to take hostages and behead the Canadian PM + others. HOW CAN SOMEONE, EVEN MCKENZIE BROS-LOVING CANADIANS, IGNORE DECAPITATIONS??? DRUDGE also reports on the CBSNEWS.com article where US officials believe the the agenda of the Canadian 17 may had been a pretext for wider attacks across North America - read, USA. Radical Islamic leaders are allegedly calling on worldwide cells and mainstream supporters to arm themselve andor stockpile weapons in case America ignore the UNO and attacks Iran or Syria."America must submit to Islam", or words to that effect. FTLG, STAY ARMED. TEACHER YOUR WOMEN AND DAWGS TO FIGHT AND SHOOT "CUZ THE SECULAR AND GOD-BASED LEFTIES-ANARCHISTS ARE COMING!
