"Dalal Al-Maghrabi was nothing but a cold-blooded murderous bitch whose head was filled with the exact same garbage spouted by campus leftists, activists, and dunder-headed commentators the world over. The only difference is Maghrabi held the gun for them."

Arguably, certainly so in a narrow but still properly conceived sense, those among the left are even more complicit than the individual actors. The ideological, propagandized, etc. apologetic and substrate needs to exist in the first place if such wholesale murderous regimens and regimes are going to gain a foothold - and then flourish. Witness, on a broader scale, Peter Rodman commenting, excerpt:

"Military historians seem to be converging on a consensus that by the end of 1972, the balance of forces in Vietnam had improved considerably, increasing the prospects for South Vietnam’s survival. That balance of forces was reflected in the Paris Agreement of January 1973, and the (Democratic) Congress then proceeded to pull the props out from under that balance of forces over the next 2 ½ years — abandoning all of Indochina to a bloodbath. This is now a widely accepted narrative of the endgame in Vietnam, and it has haunted the Democrats for a generation."

[...]

"... The outcome in Indochina was not foreordained. Congress had the last word, however, between 1973 and 1975.

"The strategic consequences of defeat in Indochina were also serious. Leonid Brezhnev crowed that the global “correlation of forces” had shifted in favor of “socialism,” and the Soviets went on a geopolitical offensive in the third world for a decade. Demoralized allied leaders in Europe as well as Asia feared the new Soviet aggressiveness and lamented the paralysis of American will. When Saddam invaded Kuwait in 1990, he and his colleagues invoked Vietnam as evidence that U.S. warnings did not need to be taken seriously. That’s what it means to lose credibility. Once lost, it has to be re-earned the hard way."

Hugh Hewitt elaborates on Rodman's article here.

"Dalal Al-Maghrabi was nothing but a cold-blooded murderous bitch whose head was filled with the exact same garbage spouted by campus leftists, activists, and dunder-headed commentators the world over. The only difference is Maghrabi held the gun for them."

How dare you condemn a hero in this fashion! She was NOT a bitch, she was a highly dignified woman who stood up for her country. She was Wataniya. For you to remark on her like this is just indicative of your jealousy and intolerance. Our people do not murder, we only defend ourselves from the oppression wrought upon us by the Zionists. We are freedom fighters. Viva Maghrabi!!!

Ashkan, the longer the name, the bigger the ego.

Listen Jerkan, tell your imam, sheik, ayatollah, furher, if the US or Hindu India or Israel suffer a nuke attack, the "holy" cities of Mecca/Macca and the Kabba, Medina and Qom will suffer a retaliatory punishment that will make the "nakbah" look like a parking ticket.

What will you "hajj" to then Ashkan?

My name is ASHKAR, not ASHKAN, and your remarks sound more like ARKAN'S who massacred thousands of innocent civilians because of their religion. Does your religion make you want to do the same? Or are you just another lonely porn-hog using the Internet as an outlet for your frustration at being a second-rate hillbilly?

By the way, I'm a woman, you dillhole. Oh, wait, I hear in the South it's common for men to disrespect women. Oops. I guess I'll get no love here.

Zainab,

You murder when you target civilian centers; you murder when rockets and other munitions are used at peak periods against those civilian centers, for example during periods when grade school aged children are being let out of their classrooms at the end of the school day; you murder when your suicide/homicide bombers detonate their munitions in the midst of civilians, on buses or in restaurants for example; you murder when you purposely and systematically fire your own munitions from within civilian centers, knowing that return fire is all the more likely to kill those civilians; you murder when your own militants display their cowardice by hiding in your own civilian centers, including in hospitals and schools; you effectively murder with your lies and rhetoric, which deceits seek to mask such tactical and strategic uses your own civilian populations are put to; you murder your own via summary executions, as Hamas murdered and tortured members of Fatah and others recently in Gaza and as they have done throughout their history; you murder in Labanon, you murder in Gaza, you murder in the West Bank, you murder in Israel; you murder when you teach, from pre-school ages and forward, a vile, venomous, vicious malignancy to your youth, at home and at school and at workplaces, via media and via preachers and via other outlets still; you murder when you forward and promulgate blood libels that you know to be malicious and false; you murder when you choose to develop and sustain such a culture of hate - in lieu of developing infrastructures and a culture that any better founded and better oriented society would develop; you murder with your contumely and your venomous hatreds, the hatreds you live and breathe, the hatred you knowingly enculturate throughout your society, the hatred you eat and drink and indulge, in perpetuity.

And, you know this, and revel in it - while variously masking it to help ensure you continue to recieve funds from the E.U., the U.N., the U.S. and elsewhere, and for other reasons as well, for example to help continue forwarding Iran's and Syria's interests in the region.
