Muslims for freedom – American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson

An important gathering of Muslims dedicated to retaking their faith from the hands of brutes and madmen has taken place in St. Petersburg, Florida. They may be the best hope for saving the world from violent religious war, which seems the aim of many jihadists. In essence, they are demanding the Islam play by the rules the world’s other religions obvserve.

The “Peacemakers” – By Deborah T. Bucknam
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 6, 2007

On March 12, 1975, Democrat Rep. (now Senator and Presidential candidate) Chris Dodd from Connecticut stated on the floor of the U.S. House:

The greatest gift our country can give the Cambodian people is not guns but peace. And the best way to accomplish that goal is by ending military aid now. The American Congress cut off all military aid to Cambodia and South Vietnam.

This is what happened one month and five days later as a result of Chris Dodds and other Democrats gift of peace:

On April 17th, 1975 the Khmer Rouge, a communist guerrilla group led by Pol Pot, took power in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. They forced all city dwellers into the countryside and to labor camps. During their rule, it is estimated that 2 million Cambodians died by starvation, torture or execution. 2 million Cambodians represented approximately 30% of the Cambodian population during that time.

The so-called peace movement today is proposing a similar gift of peace to Iraq.

Note from Tina: The Peacemakers is an excellent article, Go Get It Here, that includes an interesting bit of evidence regarding the level of “peace” in the world in the 1990s. It might surprise those of you who believed BC was the peace president.
