>The United States’ War on Terror Threatens America  - Michael S. Rozeff - Mike Rozeff
Another blame American article for the world's woes. Four talking points issued by Ron Paul or to Ron Paul and Rozeff are as follows:

1) We 'occupy' their counties and thus cause much animosity and so deserve to have our citizens murdered and our buildings bombed (I guess the money we spend 'occupying' them and helping their economy somehow infuriates them). No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

2) We haven't suffered any additional attacks and so the War on Terror was useless (ignoring the logic that future attacks may have been stopped by the 'War.') Rozeff goes to unusual lenghts to promote that canard.

3) Islam is not at fault. They are basically a peace loving people who just happen to treat women as property, who kill their daughters for honor, and only occassionaly behead infidels. Right.

4) Iran is no threat. Their constant threats to annihiate both the USA and Israel are not to be taken seriously. Just because Hitler telegraph his intentions to take over the world and annihilate the Jews in Mein Kampt does not mean it could happen again. Just relax. Reason with them and recall the joyful images of Polyanna smelling the flowers. Right.

Is there a threat to America? Yes, from the ideas of Rozeff and Paul.
