For decades, the United States and other free nations have been victims of an international Mafia style "protection racket" wherein terrorist organizations and "Axis of Evil" countries demand compensation in return for agreeing to be "good neighbors".  
 
Hamas, Hezbollah, North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Syria, et al. have been beneficiaries of this racket for too many years, facilitated by the "good name" of the United Nations whose own mafia types siphon off their percentage "take".  The protection racket cycle continues with each confrontation, buying time for these rogue groups to build their arsenals of ever increasing sophisticated weaponry towards a goal of nuclear weapons capability.
 
It's about time that free nations put an end to this vastly expanding, sickening racket and to demonstrate in no uncertain terms, that free nations are not cowards for incessantly negotiating (bending to) to their demands  as perceived by the rogue groups.  Today, free nations are at a point where tomorrow will be too late.   
 
Free nations should finally welcome the present Mideast conflict initiated by Hamas and Hezbollah actions, encouraged by this racket, as an opportunity to confront on all fronts, international terrorism, primarily including Syria and Iran.
 
Many shudder to think about the dire consequences of not acting today.
 
Many would hope that there will be a day when free nations will look back and thank God/Allah/et al. that Coalition Forces attacking Iraq was a God-send, further uncovered the true terrorist threat; leadership, organization, magnitude, weaponry and financing and weapon procurement networks (including nuclear/chemical/ biological).
 
And ultimate thanks will be offered up for the opportunity that the present Mideast crisis presented to free nations this day to strategically, with Iraq and Afghanistan coalition troops, air, ground and sea support in the theater and with allied purpose, crush terrorism for eternity.

Having learned from the past the futility of attempted negotiations with these organizations; negotiations bordering on appeasement which has only confirmed in their minds that they face a cowardly enemy, free nations should finally welcome the present Mideast conflict initiated by Hamas and Hezbollah actions as an opportunity to confront on all fronts, international terrorism, primarily including Syria and Iran.
 
Hopefully, there will be a day when free nations will look back and thank God/Allah/et al. that Coalition Forces attacking Iraq further uncovered the true terrorist threat; leadership, organization, magnitude, weaponry and financing and weapon procurement networks (including nuclear/chemical/ biological).
Most sincere thanks will also be offered up for the opportunity that the present Mideast crisis presented to free nations to strategically, with Iraq and Afghanistan coalition troops, air, ground and sea support in the theater and with allied purpose, crush terrorism for eternity.
