Forhenværende borgmester i New York: Appeasement Never Works

So, to sum up, using an old boxing expression, “You can run, but you can’t hide.” I believe it makes no sense to run from the terrorists and wait for them to find us in Fortress America, and then seek to repel them. The battle must be taken to them in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, wherever they threaten the free world. This is without a doubt a war to defend the free world and Western civilization, just as important to our survival as World War II. Unlike the latter, which for us lasted four years, this war will go on for decades.

The war has already taken an enormous toll on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as all the innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilian lives that have been lost. We cannot let the sacrifices of the fallen and the living be in vain.

How long will it be before we all awaken to the inherent danger facing us? Appeasement never works. It only encourages new and escalating demands.
