Open letter to President Obama,

Dear President Obama,

If you think you can reason with a mad man, I would advise you to confer with France and Spain. They have tried this tactic and it has failed miserably. The extremists in the Islamic world cannot be reasoned with. You cannot simply say “we are your friends and we want to play nice with you. Every time France and Spain do this, another bomb goes off. Spain pulled out of Iraq and has had several major terrorist attacks since then. The same with France.

President Obama, doing this is akin to asking a school yard bully for your bag of marbles back that he took from you the day before. All it will get you is an ass kicking. It’s a dynamic that I have never been able to understand with the liberal way of thinking. One day perhaps you liberals will realize that some people simply cannot be reasoned with. Some people are inherently evil and cannot be rehabilitated.

Understanding that a small percentage of Islam are what are called “fanatical extremists,” that have vowed to kill all infidels, well then it would only stand to reason that placating and appeasing will only lead to MORE terrorist attacks. Here is a simple analogy Mr. President. If you give a child candy every time the child cries, it won’t take long for the child to realize that all it has to do is cry or “act out” to receive a reward.

Using this same logic, we can easily understand why Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia finance terrorism. Because we keep buying oil from Iran and Saudi Arabia. We keep sending money to Pakistan. We have been appeasing these people for years trying to extend the olive branch to all of these countries and each time it blows up in our collective face.

When you combine these facts with the almost visceral hatred of America by the vast majority of the countries that make up the United Nations, it becomes easy to understand why appeasement does not work. Mr. President, I don’t want to get bogged down with arguments as to why most countries of the world hate the United States. I believe it is because although or system of governing may not be perfect, it is still the best system in the world.

So all I can say Mr. Obama is this; You cannot reason with madmen. Using this as a guideline won’t prevent the United States from being attacked again by terrorists, but not appeasing the Islamic extremists will give you Mr. President the ability to say “I didn’t appease these madmen. I did all that I could to prevent this.”

Because let me be the first to say that if you President Obama go forward from here and appease these cretins and America is attacked again, You will suffer the wrath of the American public. I was hoping that your judgment not be clouded by your own Islamic beliefs, but I can see that this will not be the case.

Now lets see if the media begins to attack you Mr. President for making your decisions based on your religious faith or ideology. This type of attack became almost routine During the Bush Administration. Because that is what I believe you are doing President Obama. I believe that you are letting your religion affect the safety and well being of the American population and this President Obama is something that America will not take lightly.
