The Bush Doctrine in Fighting Terrorism is Looking Wiser By the Day

Friday, July 15, 2005 - 8:17 PM

Following the horrific terrorist attacks against the United States, President Bush declared that "After Sept. 11, our world changed. Either we fight terrorists abroad or face them here."

Bush recognized that following 20 years of attacks by extremist Islamic terrorists, the policy of waiting to be attacked to take action was a policy that would only leave America and her allies vulnerable.

And now in the wake of the London terror attacks (following the Madrid train bombings) that President Bush's proactive policy of fighting terrorism, and the nation-state's that support it is the only hope to put an end to the senseless murder of innocent civilians.

Consider the string of attacks by extremist Islamic terrorists against the United States over the past few decades alone:

* September 11, 2001 - Terrorists hijack four U.S. commercial jetliners. Two are flown into the Twin Trade Towers in New York City. One is flown into the Pentagon. The final aircraft is prevented from being used against the U.S. House of Representatives only after the American passengers retake the plane from the hijackers. In the struggle to regain the plane, the jet crashes. Over 3,000 innocent Americans are dead by the end of the day from the combined attacks.

* October 12, 2000 - Islamic extremist terrorists steer a small boat filled with explosives directly into the U.S.S. Cole - an American Naval Destroyer. 17 U.S. servicemen are murdered in the attack.

* On August 7, 1998, Islamic terrorists, killing 212 people and wounding approximately 4,500 people, bombed U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Four Al Qaeda agents were convicted in the killings in May, 2001. Two of the Islamic terrorists had received training at Al Qaeda-operated camps inside Afghanistan.

* On June 25, 1996 members of the Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah killed 19 American servicemen and injured hundreds of others when they detonated a truck bomb in front of the Khobar Towers military complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

* February 26, 1993 - The first bombing of World Trade Center by Al Qaeda operatives. 6 innocent civilians were killed and 1,040 injured.

* December 21, 1988 - Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 en route to New York killed 259 on board the plane, with 11 killed on the ground as the burning wreckage slammed into the small, peaceful town of Lockerbie, Scotland. Passengers on board the flight included 35 Syracuse University students and countless U.S. military personnel. The bombers were Islamic extremists working on behalf of the Libyan government which formally accepted responsibility for the attack in August of 2003.

* On June 14, 1985 - TWA Flight 847 is hijacked by Hezbollah terrorists and held for 17 days. The hijackers had the plane flown around the Middle East. At the second stop (in Beirut) nearly a dozen armed men joined the hijackers and the Islamic extremist terrorists picked out an American Navy diver, Robert Stethem, from among the passengers. They beat him, shot him in the right temple, and dumped his body outoOf the plane onto the tarmac. Several passengers with Jewish sounding names were taken off the plane, and were later released.

* April 18, 1983 - A suicide car bomb attack by the terrorist group, Islamic Jihad, destroys the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. 63 were murdered - most of the victims were eating lunch and were killed by the collapsing building. One Marine was killed. Several U.S. State Department officials were killed including 3 U.S. AID officials and the entire U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Middle East contingent was eliminated - every agent was murdered in the attack.
