Coward Al-Sadr Flees Iraq to Iran

Al-Sadr, the radical Shiite coward, has fled Iraq for Iran in advance of the American announcement that the Iraqi borders with Iran and Syria would be closed.

Al-Sadr would have his followers in the Madhi Army fight America "To the death." Yet, al-Sadr runs like a woman in a burqua at the first sign of trouble.

I still do not understand why al-Sadr was not killed or captured at least three years ago but he needs to find out that there are no virgins waiting for him.

Why Dictatorships Can't Be Trusted

Neville Chamberlin learned that Adolph Hitler could not be trusted. There was no "Peace in our time."

Similarly, naive modern day Chamberlins including Barack Obama believe we should sit down and talk with our enemies such as Iran, Syria, and North Korea. The first and third countires were rightfully designated by president Bush as parts of the "Axis of Evil."

Leftists yesterday trumpeted the "great" diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea. Seemingly, North Korea had agreed to close down and cap its main nuclear reactor and eventually dismantle its atomic weapons program in exchange for some aid and fuel oil.

North Korea's spin hours later was that the nuclear production was only "...a temporary suspension" of its nuclear program."

Talking to dictators only plays into their hands. Just like with terrorists, killing dictators or capturing them is the only diplomacy they understand and respect.
