Here is how you fight terrorism.

1) Bring ALL your troops home. All means all and that is all all means. The purpose of the military is DEFENSE. Let them guard the borders and shores and be done with it.

2) If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. As long as you have troops in 130 countries and as long as you wage "pre-emptive" wars, you will have millions -- if not billiions of people hating you.

3) Get the US OUT of the UN and all organizations that undermine our sovereignty and independence. Eight tomorrow morning would be fine. End all foreign aid. Washington and Jefferson were right. Alliances would mean nothing but trouble. Keep your economic relations to a maximum and your political ties to a minimum.

4) Secure the borders. You need not seal them, but keep a very close eye on who comes in. BUSH SHOULD BE IMPREACHED for dereliction of duty in protecting us from invasion.

5) Get back to a literal reading of the Second Amendment. Should Ahmed, Omar, Raheem and Kareem board an airplane armed with box cutters, they will be no match for a passenger with a .357 in his carry-on. YOU WANT YOUR 70 VIRGINS? I'VE GOT YOUR 70 VIRGINS RIGHT HERE, SCUMBAG!!! You don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Switzerland has been neutral for centuries. Hence, they have no terrrorism problem. France had a terrorism problem. Had -- past tense. And then they pulled out of Algeria. (They have problems with Muslim rioters because of their way too liberal immigration poicies.)

Troops home. Trade maximized. Sovereignty restored. Borders secure. Constitution heeded.

Terrorist problem gone.

Read my letter to the Rocky this week.

Matthew 5:9,

Doug Newman -- www.thefot.us

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker asks, "why did you kill my friend?" The terrorist kills him and rapes his wife.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker says, "Stop that!" The terrorist kills him, rapes his daughter and kills his wife.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker says, "I'll pay you $1000 if you stop attacking us." The terrorist agrees to the deal, takes the $1000, and kills him.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker appeals to the United Nations. The United Nations says the peacemaker is at fault. The terrorist kills him.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker now has a gun, and threatens to use it. Other peacemakers start chanting the old 60's whine, "Can't we all just get along?" The peacemaker hesitates. The terrorist kills him.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker tries to convince his peacemaker friends that the terrorists aren't going to respond to negotiations, but they insist that if he kills the terrorist it'll just make the other terrorists mad. The peacemaker reluctantly agrees to try negotiating again. The terrorist kills him, his entire family, and his neighbor's family.

A heated debate now ensues between the peacemakers who want to be nice to the terrorists and the peacemakers who believe that there can never be peace until the terrorists are all dead. While they are debating, the terrorists kill 15 more peacemakers.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker asks himself, "Which is more important: being liked by everyone, or protecting my family?" The terrorist pulls a knife to kill the peacemaker, but the peacemaker pulls a gun and kills the terrorist first. The United Nations condemns the peacemaker's use of disproportional force. Many of his peacemaker friends turn against him.

A peacemaker walks up to the left side of the line. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line. The peacemaker apologizes for what his friend did to the other terrorist. The terrorist kills him, his entire family and his neighbors, and threatens to destroy the city as soon as they develop a bigger weapon.

A peacemaker refuses to meet at the line because every time a peacemaker goes to the line the terrorist kills him. A terrorist walks up to the right side of the line and fires rockets into the peacemaker's town. The United Nations condemns the way the peacemaker provoked the terrorist by refusing to come to the line and meet with him.

Generations pass and not much changes until one day when the son of a peacemaker decides that the old strategy simply won't work. He walks up to the left side of the line a little early. As the terrorist approaches the right side of the line the peacemaker shoots him. Another terrorist approaches to replace the first, and the peacemaker shoots him too. This scene plays out several more times. Then a terrorist approaches carrying a white flag, but he also has weapons. The peacemaker shoots him. A terrorist next approaches with a ceasefire resolution from the U.N. The peacemaker shoots him also. A large group of terrorists approach and the peacemaker shoots them all and drops a nuclear bomb on the city they came from. The peacemaker continues killing the terrorists until the terrorists are all dead.

There is finally peace on earth and the United Nations takes the credit.
