"Implacable" Stupidity

286 days since Sen. Hillary Clinton declared U.S. victory in Iraq

303 days since Sen. Hillary Clinton declared the U.S. mainland safe from terrorists

Today's letter to the Boston Globe:

Editor,

A recent letter that claimed neo-conservative “implacable hostility toward the Palestinians and the millions of Muslims who identify with them has brought our country to the brink of a global religious war” is quite possibly the most ridiculous letter the Boston Globe has ever published . . . and that's saying something (Letters, March 31).

First, it is beyond absurd to argue America’s sixty year history of supporting the democratic State of Israel is the equivalent of “implacable hostility” toward Palestinians.

Second, long before a neo-con got anywhere near the Oval Office, the United States of America was repeat victim of a global religious war. Below is just a partial list of recent events that liberal extremists seem to deny:

February, 1993 – World Trade Center bombing kills 6 and wounds 1,042.

November, 1995 – Saudi Arabian car bombing kills 7, including 5 US military personnel.

June, 1996 – Dhahran, Saudi Arabia fuel truck bombing targeting a US military installation kills 19 US military personnel and wounds another 515 people, including 240 Americans.

August, 1998 – US Embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania kills 301, including 12 Americans, and wounds another 5,100.

October, 2000 – USS Cole bombing kills 17 US sailors and wounds another 39.

Non-"neo-con" William Jefferson Clinton was President of the United States of America for all of the events listed. (End of letter.)

For those that won't go to a dictionary, "implacable" means unable to be placated or pacified. Yes, a Hate-America-Firster thinks the United States' position regarding Palestinians is "implacable hostility". I'm not an expert on the Middle East but I'm almost positive the United States has never directed a military weapon, pistol to warhead, at any Palestinians (well, unless the Palestinian traveled to stand in front of such a weapon in Afghanistan, for example). Yet, not only is the claim that we are hostile to Palestinians but the hostility in incapable of being pacified.
And, the Boston Globe was all to pleased to publish the letter.
