Gary Kasparov on the war on terror
This guy knows about winning wars, even if his soldiers ar two inches high and made of wood.

"As in World War II, the war waged by terrorists began with attacks on Jews. Any attempt to separate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the war on terror is futile. Once again momentum is building toward a Middle East peace push, but I'm convinced it is hopeless to look for a separate solution to the Middle East crisis before we achieve victory in the war on terror.

[...] America's allies have yet to recognize the urgency of the situation; they are still questioning the need for tough measures to counter the most serious challenge to our civilization for the past half-century. It is customary in Europe to allow suicide bombers the luxury of a "political" cause. EU countries and banks are working on underwriting Iranian government bonds. Multilateralism and multiculturalism, not to mention anti-Semitism, exert too strong an influence for Europe to play a constructive role."


One Ron Norman from San Francisco, responding to the article says: "The Jews are our canaries in the mine."
