Someone Actually Wrote This, Part Three

Letters - The Arab street did not deserve Bush apology

How obsequious! President George W. Bush appeared on Arab television to apologize for the mistreatment of Iraqis and Afghans under U.S. military control. Considering the rampant bestiality of many in the Arab world toward Americans, Israelis, Spaniards, Indonesians and others, they hardly merit presidential consideration.

By groveling on Al-Arabia television and kow-towing to the Arab street, President Bush only confirms what Islamic terrorists already know: The United States is unwilling to 'fight fire with fire,' to do whatever it takes to strike fear in their hearts and defeat them by any means necessary.

Neither al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, nor the so-called Iraqi insurgents honor the Geneva Accords vis-a-vis burning bodies hung from bridges, bus and train bombings, and corpses dragged behind cars. If the president insists on addressing the Arab world, he should unequivocally state that our soldiers will imprison or kill anyone who lifts a weapon against us. Period.

(Emphasis in letter added.) I just can't think of anything to say to this shout of "They deserved it!" Who'd have thought it possible anyone would try to claim the abuse of prisoners was right?
