Peace at any price is a price too high
Published by Yazad Jal September 13th, 2003 in TerrorismBrowsing through Tech Central Station, I came upon this.
There is a moral case to be made for a Palestinian state. There’s a strategic and “realist” case to be made for it, too. But it is trumped by the need to contain a fast-spreading barbarism. No country on Earth should appease or surrender to terror. Peace at any price has a price tag too high. A devastating wave of suicide attacks in Moscow, London, New York, and Bombay is a real possibility and would distort and deform our societies beyond recognition.
Michael J. Totten maintains a thought provoking blog. Here’s a nice piece fisking Chomsky. Apparently Noam “Toohey” Chomsky can’t see the irony of preaching freedom to America from Cuba!
The moral case for Palestine is just as strong as for a Terrorist State of Pakistan! Creating waves of terrors are just as easy for that administration as for creating waves of counter-terror for the Israelis.
I sympathise with both, but cannot forget that Jordan–the fatherland for the Palestinians–has not ceded an inch for this state-and the Israelis have had to fight (without resrting to terror tactics) thru centuries for a homeland… So there… the take on Chomsky was pathetic, btw.
