Saudi newspaper: "Sheehan is a liberal nutcase who needs to be put in her place."
Amazing position taken in the Arab News, an English-language Saudi Arabia newspaper. More:
Don't know if I would go that far. I do think they are encouraged by domestic dissent. But that's not the only reason they kill.

Ms. Sheehan and other appeasers around the world provide the fuel that feeds the fire of terrorism. If not for this fuel, terrorists would realize that they do not have a chance to sway the minds of people and would end the bombing. Terrorists are not stupid, they understand that bombing innocent civilians will not change the minds of the strong, but will break the will of the weak. So they attack the weak and the weak fold.
Spain is a good example of this reasoning. Would the terrorists have attacked Spain if the whole population stood strong against terrorism? No. What would be the point?
Every time an appeaser voices his or her opinion against the war in Iraq terrorists gain hope that they can change the will of the people. So whether they want to admit it or not, appeasers protesting the war in Iraq are indirectly responsible for the death of the innocent. And the death of our soldiers.
In fact appeasers are directly responsible for the death of Ms. Sheehan’s son, not George W. Bush. If the whole country was united for the war in Iraq, I doubt if the terrorists would have started their suicide bombing campaign.
Don't know if I would go that far. I do think they are encouraged by domestic dissent. But that's not the only reason they kill.

the worst thing for an enemy to have is "hope". in past wars, Little Boy and Fat Man removed the hope of the Imperial Japanese. Patton and the Third Army from one direction, and the Red Army from the other removed the hope of the Third Reich.
though the protesters may indeed be sincere in the belief that they want to keep the troops safe, the fact is that protests in the US give hope to the enemy. And a hopeful enemy is a dangerous enemy.
