Why Does Atheism and Left-Wing Politics Usually Go Together?

[A Theist]

Obama's gentler approach of appeasement to foreign policy emboldens the Islamic radicals.

What kind of an approach would you suggest, friend? If you are really saddened, or furious at the death of your nationals at the hand of others, send in your warriors!

They don't fear retaliation from us.

And I believe that you support a policy to rule over the smaller nations with fear, eh? Well, why should anyone fear you? What are you so capable of that people ought to cover in fear before you and ask for mercy? You are not the masters of this world, friend, and you never will be. Mastery of others is only confined to people with noble and ancient heritage.

Iran certainly doesn't fear us and our allies.

You can't force them to fear you while maintaining the notion of peace and democracy that you yourself claim to stand for.

Barack Obama still avoids calling it a terrorist attack.

It's actually an attack by the people. Well, I already knew that something like this would happen in a place where order does not exist. The US and the NATO have destroyed this order and harmony that existed there, and for what?

Also, I was specifying far left democrats, not all democrats....and it would seem to me that anyone who believes appeasement is the best foreign policy is naive.

I believe that the foreign policy of any US president should be to stay on the other part of the Atlantic...They belong there, while this part of the world belongs to us.
I believe it's quite arrogant and rather foolish of the US to think that they can assert superiority in any part of the Old World...This is why they still think that they can create more satelite states that they claim that they can control, eh? The time of mandates is over. People want independence, and they oppose any would-be masters who would try to rule over them via corporate colonization.

For one, we have friends and trading partners on the other side of the Atlantic....but if Turkey objects to our being there, then it's welcome to try to throw us out.

" The US and the NATO have destroyed this order and harmony that existed there, and for what?"....if Turkey objects to the US and NATO, then Turkey can withdraw its membership.
