Ted Turner And Caving Into Terrorist Demands
Ted Turner argued that "you don't win people over by bombing them, you win them over by being friends with them," and soon recommended giving Muslim extremists what they want as a solution to terrorism. Turner, who in 2002 claimed that Israelis were guilty of "terrorism" against the Palestinians, on Friday's show advocated "being more even-handed in our dealing with the Palestinians and the Israelis," negotiating peace in the Middle East "so we can stop at some point furnishing military aid to Israel," and "pulling our military forces out of the Middle East." Turner labeled these moves as "things that they've asked of us" and "things that the Muslim extremists and a lot of other Muslims, too, would like to see us do."
Well, sorry terrorists can want and demand all they want, but we absolutely should not cave into terrorist's demands.
Since when does a terrorist force dictate US foreign policy? Since when does Ted Turner speak as a political pundit? I guess everyone can have a point of view, but we can not let ourselves be used as a propaganda vehicle by those whose real desire is to destroy our way of life, our society, and our families. We can not allow extremists ideals to become mainstream conversation!
