THE BEST FORM OF DEFENCE...





Here is a good quote from Ralph Peters, on America's war on terrorism, New York Post, March 26, 2004

"There is nothing we can do to satisfy religion-inspired terrorists. If we do not kill them, they will kill us. The best defense is a strong offense. We cannot wait at home for terrorists to strike. We must not waver from the current policy of taking the war to our enemies. The moment we falter, our enemies will bring the war back to us. Allies are valuable, but they are not indispensable. In the end, we must always do what is necessary, whether or not it is popular abroad. The Islamic world's problems are not our fault, and we are not to blame for terrorism. We cannot force other cultures to be successful, nor can we avoid their jealousy.

Our will must always be stronger than that of our enemies. Otherwise, they'll win, despite our countless advantages. If we cannot maintain the courage for the fight, the terrorists will fill the courage vacuum. The War on Terror is a zero-sum game."



This applies to the IRA, UVF and UDA as well but too many politicians lack the guts to deal with it here.
