Terrorist Activism By The Numbers
Four "peace activists" got pinched by terrorists, and are now said to be threatened with death. Good thing we've got a Blockbuster nearby, 'cause I already know the script for this one.
The same "peace activists" belong to a group that only became interested in Iraq about the time they discovered America was interested in readjusting the government. Interesting, isn't it?
As Steve H. notes:
Why didn't they protest Hussein's millions of atrocities, which were committed openly and as a matter of policy? Why are minor American sins worth protesting, when huge, egregious, Hitler-scale Iraqi sins don't even justify a press conference?Answer: because peace isn't what these people are about.
He's right. That is why these "peace activists" are in no danger at all.
They've managed to make themselves public relations bargaining chips as they always intended. Their terrorist captors will make little movie, enjoy their moment in the sun, and make an outrageous demand or two that we will in no way be able to think about honoring, like asking all captured terrorists to be let go.
After a length of time, the activist's terrorist friends will let them go without so much as a scratch, just to show just how compassionate they truly are.
Congratulations, Christian Peacemaker Teams.
You've managed to get the attention you've always wanted.
You are absolutely correct. What in the "hell" are these so called "peaceniks" trying to accomplish? Except to destroy what we have as a country?
Again good post!
Thank you

Its interesting that these "Peacemakers" do not blame the terrorists. Instead they blame the US and the UK.
Posted by: Al at December 2, 2005 10:15 PMPart of their apparent (or actual) stupidity can be found in the definition of the word "peace". When a normal person speaks that word, they mean that neither violence nor the threat of violence is present. However, because of brainwashing in certain classrooms, some misguided idiots have come to equate peace and communism. They believe that peace cannot exist where there is capitalism, and since America = Capitalism opposing America is supporting peace. These people need to be educated on the true meaning of peace, along with several other things. If the people they want to help kill them it is indeed tragic, but it is also deserving of a Darwin Award.
