"war on terror causes terrorists”...and Bushes, Blairs and Howards...
I like this morsel that Charlene spotted at Gates of Vienna....
…we should not be surprised when liberals take things out of context and distort reality to fit their perceptions. For them to say “the war on terror causes terrorists” is simply a cherished assumption dressed up as a conclusion. If you give it a moment’s thought, their whole world view is just so stupid. Would they ever report that terrorists are the cause of the American military that liberals so despise, and that if terrorists would only appease America, our military would stop trying to harm them? Or that Islamo-nazis have to stop their unwinnable war on the west, because it will only create more George Bushes and Tony Blairs and John Howards?Posted by John Weidner at September 28, 2006 09:57 AM
Or that they themselves must stop mindlessly attacking conservatives, because it will just make us stronger?
Personally, I hope they never figure out that last one...
There is no evidence that we have created more terrorists by killing them than we would have by letting them rampage freely.
If a bad-tempered fanatic wants to join the international jihad, where should he go for money, weapons, training, leadership, and direction? Is it easier now than before 9/11?
Liberals are engaging in projection. What they mean is that they feel angrier and angrier. They feel themselves becoming increasingly radicalized and fanatical.
They used to project those emotions on the 'Arab Street', except Arabs failed to cooperate. Now they project their fantasies on a dispersed and hidden jihadist movement - connected and sustained by the internet - about which they can only speculate. And surprise! That movement looks just like them.

Posted by: John Weidner at October 2, 2006 10:11 AMIt was gonna drive me nuts, so I went a-hunting...here's the permalink to Gates of Vienna. But that was actually GOV quoting One Cosmos. Annoyingly, GOV never links the One Cosmos post - not even a top-level blog link.
But, intrepid as I am, I tracked it down...
