Moore and now Obama and his running dog Napolitano all believe international Muslim terrorists attacking us from multiple Muslim nations are simple criminals and that we need only press charges -- after the fact -- against these "alleged" criminals to solve the problem.<br /><br />KSM is being tried in freakin' NEW YORK CITY, folks, as if he's OJ Simpson on trial for a minor case of domestic violence, because Democrats believe we can fight international Muslim terrorists attacking us from supportive Muslim nations by giving them American rights and hopefully catching them in one piece after they try something, um, distasteful and illiberal.<br /><br />Bush was right. Unless you want the war lapping at your shores, you take the war to the nations that support this crap. Afghanistan supported the jihad. Saddam's Iraq did. Iran still does.
