It Is A Failure Of Empathy

As I was researching materials on terrorism for my blog on the web I read a startling and upsetting article that Obama wrote about the 9/11 jihadists (terrorist) eight days after the attack on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania that left 3,000 innocent men, women, and children dead on American soil. That article really disturbed me for a man that is now our president to say what he did in that article. It was his recommendations and advice on how to stop the jihad terrorist, in a local Chicago newspaper, he had published eight days after the September 11 terrorist attacks. What he said was so unbelievable! This is in part of what he said:

"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy {understanding, sympathy, compassion} on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."

Is this man (Obama) for real? Osama bin Laden's murderous legions are plenty able to "imagine" the "suffering of others." Go watch an al Qaeda beheading video on Google or surf You-Tube
While you watch it please tell me if these terrorist were trained in the suffering of infidels and please tell me if it is covered in Their Basic Jihadist Training. I'll repeat again what Obama said in the week after the 9/11 attack was to identify and make it out as a "tragedy" stemming from lack of "empathy" and "understanding"–instead of yet another deliberate, carefully planned evil act of the long-waged Islamic war on the West that it was. What was there to understand about the killing of three thousand people. What is there to understand about the attack on the USS Cole and the marine barrack in Lebanon? What about the soldiers and the pregnant women and all the people that were wounded and killed at Fort hood, Texas?

As for Obama's continued delusion about the "climate of poverty and ignorance" that supposedly breeds Muslim terrorists, can our great politicians ever rid their selves of this unreality-based crap? That is exactly what it is "Crap" This belief is part of the same absurdity and stupid silliness that lead the State Department to embrace and cuddle the Muslim world and the same reason President Bush opened up our aviation schools to more Saudi students to "improve understanding." John McCain also said education was the cure for Islamic terrorism when he was at the L.A. World Affairs Council in March, when he declared that "In this struggle, scholarships will be far more important than smart bombs." (really) Just what we need: more student visas for that jihadist-infested nation that sent us most of the 9/11 hijackers. This kind of thinking will only bring us more of the same results in the very near future. When is our government going to wake up to the fact that these people want to kill us. When are they going to wake up to the fact these people do not want for us to befriend them or to be their buddies. They want to kill us. They despise everything that this country stands for. Wake up Mr. Obama and the rest of you liberals in congress. Smell the coffee! These Muslim terrorist have only one thing on their mind. That is to kill the infidel. This has been the same way for thousands of years and it will only get worse until we take a more firm stand against it.

There's plenty of genuine documented evidence out there (you only have to look) that would debunk Obama's way of thinking. If you will look and read you will find that the most ruthless 'extremists are those fanatics, better known as terrorist, who have lived in the United States and England, have been most exposed to the west and western education: from Osama bin Laden (summer school at Oxford and Mohammed Atta Hamburg University urban planning student) to the London School of Economics graduate
responsible for the beheading of Daniel Pearl. The idea that handing out college scholarships to young Saudi males and getting them hooked on Starbucks and car-chase movies will make this stuff go away is ridiculous and unworthy of a president or a senator of this country. Politics will never solve this problem. This was proved in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and now Afghanistan. We must un tie the hands of our military and let them do the job they were trained to do. Let them win! It is sad when a country will send a young soldier to be shot at and maybe killed, but tie their hands so they cannot fight back properly. A government has two choices. They can refrain from sending any soldiers at all or they can send soldiers to do a job and when they do: do not put no handcuffs on them. Turn them loose and give them what they need to win!

Ayman al-Zawahiri did not need any more education or wealth to guide him away from Islamic imperialism. He has a medical degree. So does the former Hamas terrorist Abdel Rantissi. Seven upper-middle-class jihadist doctors were mixed up in the 2007 London/Glasgow bombings. Suspected al Qaeda scientist Affia Siddiqui, still wanted by the FBI for questioning, is a Pakistani who studied microbiology at MIT and did graduate work in neurology at Brandeis.

And as I've said several times before and I will say again to the hard of hearing, politicians, in Washington, reducing the academic standards of our colleges helped the al Qaeda mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed further the jihadist cause. In the early 1980s, he enrolled at the small Chowan College in Murfreesboro, N.C., which had dropped its English requirements to attract wealthy Middle Easterners. (big mistake)At Chowan, Mohammed bonded and had ties with other Muslim foreign students known as "The Mullahs" because of their religious zeal. Mohammed then transferred to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, where he earned his degree in mechanical engineering along with 30 other Muslims. Mohammed applied his Western learning to oversee the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot (six Americans dead), the U.S.S. Cole attack (17 American soldiers dead), and the September 11 attacks (3,000 dead). He has also been linked to the 1998 African-embassy bombings (212 dead, including 12 Americans), the plot to kill the pope, the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, and the Bali nightclub bomb blast that killed nearly 200 tourists, including two more Americans.

Perhaps the bleeding-heart Obama thinks a master's degree in social work would have convinced poverty-stricken, helpless, ignorant, despairing Mohammed to change his mind? Maybe if these terrorist could have got just a little bit more education that they would have had more understanding and would not have killed those three thousand people. What we have here (according to Obama) is a failure to communicate? What do you think? I think that the best way to communicate with these people (the terrorist) is to wipe them off the face of the earth before they do the same thing to us. Let them know that we will fight them on our streets, we will fight them in our churches, we will fight them in our government, we will fight them from shore to shore, and we will take the fight to them until there is not a threat anymore. The day of giving them ice cream and loli pops is over.

No Mr. Obama it is not a failure of empathy as you say, but it is a failure of your government and some past governments to realize what these jihadist are all about. The destruction of the free world as we know it. If we had that mind set in world war two, as Obama has now, we would be speaking Japanese and German. We would be bowing before the emperor and walking the German goose step as we haled Hitler. We need leaders who will realize these people want to destroy us and there is no amount of empathy that will stop that.
