The Nazi/appeasement analogy

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Spare me. "The Arab is at your feet or at your throat," am I right?

I frankly don't care about what you think of muslims and/or Arabs in general. People can hate each other all they like, as long as they do not act upon it, be it through terrorism, financing terrorism, or outright war.

You said we should punish Afghanistan, punish the Taliban, and I guess punish specific members of Al Qaeda. You've utterly failed to explain how doing this would end the problem, or make us any safer, which is what this is really all about, correct?

You and I are in agreement that this ultimately needs to be about American national security. I think your theory on how to attain this is terribly short sighted, and frankly wrong. But I actually have more respect for it, because it at least seems to be founded in a theoretically "realist" approach (this is in fact why I think this is a liberal war, if only the liberals could figure that out).
