Rumsfeld is Right

Rumsfeld is right, all-right, when he said that the free world is in a "global struggle against violent extremists." He should have called them criminals, perhaps that would stick. We are not creating these criminals, they have always hated us, and we are only now doing the right thing. We cannot cave in to the demands of these terrorists. They are criminals, and you don't negotiate with criminals.

Rumsfeld went on to say: "We can persevere in Iraq or we can withdraw prematurely, until they force us to make a stand nearer home. But make no mistake: They are not going to give up, whether we acquiesce in their immediate demands or not."
