Several years ago we were visiting friends who had just got a cute little kitten.\u00a0 During the course of the evening the kitten started scratching on the back of their new couch.\u00a0 Our friend was enraged, so he grabbed the kitten by the scuff of the neck and threw him outside.\u00a0 For the next 15 years whenever that cat wanted to go outside, he scratched the couch!<\/p>\n
My friend simply failed to understand how a cat thinks.\u00a0 The cat didn\u2019t think he was being punished, he thought he was being rewarded by being allowed to go outside.\u00a0 The quick toss just made it more fun.<\/p>\n
This reminds me of the anti-terrorism strategy used by the Obama administration.\u00a0 People attack us, so Obama apologizes for the U.S. being such an awful country, in the irrational expectation that this will make people love us.\u00a0 Not exactly. \u00a0They still hate us, it\u2019s just now that if they attack us, they get love and attention.\u00a0 For them this is a win win.\u00a0 They get to attack us, which is their main reason\u00a0for living, and they are rewarded with a heartfelt apology for the U.S. being such an awful country in the first place.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Even the promise of all those virgins has trouble competing with this.<\/p>\n
Of course the liberal left does not understand this at all.\u00a0 They are still grieving that this guy had no apparent connection to the violent tea party movement.\u00a0 As, expected, some of the usual suspects, like the ever predictable Chris Matthews, are desperately trying to blame this on the would-be terrorist’s hatred of George Bush.\u00a0 It is a bit of a reach, but the liberal media has never been able to resist another opportunity for Bush bashing.\u00a0\u00a0 Fact, of course, never get in the way of liberal analysis.<\/p>\n
In the mean time the increasingly incompetent Obama administration seems stunned that their charm and apology tour has somehow failed to work.\u00a0 At some point even Obama is likely to become frustrated with the irritating habit of peace loving Muslims trying to set off bombs and kill people.\u00a0 Once he gets finished eliminating the much more serious threat of violence from all those aging white folk in the tea party movement, he may just do something about it.\u00a0 Perhaps this time he will apologize in arabic.<\/p>\n
