Elementary Logic: The Sidewalk is NOT causing the rain.


Some misguided souls among us look at the spots of water on the sidewalk and decide the sidewalk is causing the rain. So it is today with some who see the fanatic Muslims spread their murder and killings of innocents around the world. In their denial, they feel it was President Bush’s fault for visiting London that caused there to be terror attacks against British interests in Turkey. No, the terrorists stuck there because they could. It is a measure of the success in the War on Terror that these suicide killers are reduced to hitting soft targets, preferably where there isn’t that much security. But, the terrorists are the one’s doing the killing not the President of the United States. Note that Turkey defied the US, disallowing the US Army access to Iraq from their shores. The Turks probably were doing this with the hope that this would spare them of the terrorist’s attacks. Cowering before these monsters doesn’t help; at least it didn’t stop the bombings in Istanbul.
