cornel please do not crawl in to bed with Dana Perino you might get fleas. . . or crabs

Cornel continues to spiral downward. Defending Bush's remarks now? Really?

"The president did not name Obama or any other Democrat, but White House aides privately acknowledged the remarks were aimed at the presidential candidate and others in his party."

I don't agree with everything Bush says, but he was dead on right with this.

First of all he wasn't attacking anyone, Obama, and the Democrats are way too thin skinned if they think he was giving any personal political attacks. I got exactly what Bush was saying in his speech, in so many words he said "never again" Bush never mentioned anyone by name, and he just said American senators, and at first I thought it was going to be aimed towards that idiot Carter, but it was aimed at nobody, but this just shows you how guilty they feel, because History has shown that negotiation with men who have such evil and hatred in their hearts, has, and will always fail, and appeasement only brings false peace, which is worse than war.

I'm all for diplomacy before war, I've seen war, its horrible, but I also understand that there are some people you can negotiate with, and work something out and make things better without bombs and guns, and some people you cannot.

If this were Russia, China, Venezuela, or North Korea acting up, we could most definitely, probably have talks and negotiate with them, and work shite out, but these Islamic nut bags, are in the same boat as the Nazis, fascist Japan, and fascist Italy at the time, they were driven by something much much larger than politics, politics mean/meant nothing to these people. and these Islamic nut bags, are heavily backed by god in their minds and eye, so what are the words of a man, who isn't even of their faith going to heal? Not a damn thing.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have tried to negotiate with them, as I said thats how it should always be done first, but anyone who thinks anyone is going to change the hearts and minds of those people, are sadly mistaken, and foolish. The world has dealt with people involved in a religious sect before, this we face today is nothing new. You do not negotiate, appease, or treat people of this nature in a light hearted way, you just plain and simply destroy them, cause they're not gonna stop, because in their minds, if they give up, if they listen to the words of those who call for peace, then they are not obeying god, and will be destroyed, or not make it into their heaven. This is the way people like this have been fought in the past, today sad to say in some ways, the world is way too political and pussified to do what it is they should.

I got the point with what Bush was saying about Hitler. When Hitler was making his speeches, and ranting, and raving, there were people who said "we need to get rid of this guy, before he becomes a problem" and people took it lightly, didn't expect, or even could have imagined for him to do as he did, men like Churchill were called warmongers, stupid, and other such names, he was pretty hated he was also part American so that added more to people disliking him.

Chamberlain did the whole negotiation thing with him, and everyone looked nice, and friendly but what did Hitler do, when Chamberlain basically gave up Czechoslovakia to Hitler, which worked out with Hitler's plans very very well (he actually wrote about that), Americans sat back saying this was Europe's problem, and we shouldn't nor need to get involved, bad move, men like Hitler is no one country's problem, they are always the world's problem, and the world should always stand against men like this. Today, the wars are fought quite differently, they are more dangerous cause right now we're not fighting soldiers in a specific uniform, we're fighting religious extremist, who use different tactics in warfare, but the hearts and minds are still the same of the evil in the past.

When I were younger, and I really studied about Hitler and all, I learned that no amount of talking would ever change that man's view of how things should be, based on what he believed in, and strongly too. Hitler was heavily into the occult, Nazism was basically a religion to him, he created a whole mythology of it, believed that the Aryans were the offspring of fallen angels who mated with human women, that stuff actually is in the bible, which is where the nephlins come from, but that's another topic,. He believed his view of Germany was the divine race, and destined to rule the world, the Japanese too believed that they were some divine race. You cannot sit down with men like this, and expect any good to come from the talks, we've tried to negotiate with Iran, and it has failed many times, and I'm not one bit surprised at all, because of where that country wants to be, and what they want. Its not the president of Iran who has the real power, so talking to him will solve nothing, even if he agrees with whoever speaks to him, its the clerics the religious leaders who have the power, and what they want, what the president of Iran wants (because we don't know if he TRULY believes in this stuff), and what we want, are way different.

A lot of people due to the fact that so many these days are way too political, don't understand the true nature of the people, we face today. Men like Hitler, and the terrorist we face today, come straight out of a comic book, or video game, they are so in your face evil. There's nothing complicated about the situation, the people who look at it in a political way, when in fact, it has nothing to do with politics, make it complicated for themselves, and others who don't really understand it. I'd like one person to explain to me, how a diplomatic chit chat is going to change the hearts and minds of a group of people, who believe some spiritual leader, a 13th emam, is due to return the earth, and help them destroy all non believers, they believe that his one thousand year return is very close, and by causing a lot of chaos and destruction, will bring about their apocalypse, which of course would bring in this emam, whether we invaded Iraq, or not, we'd still be seeing the growing violence of these people.
