The peaceniks claim that war never solves anything....

   ....but [1]they are wrong.

     One of Al Qaeda's senior theologians is calling on his followers to
     end their military jihad and saying the attacks of September 11,
     2001, were a "catastrophe for all Muslims."
     In a serialized manifesto written from prison in Egypt, Sayyed Imam
     al-Sharif is blasting Osama bin Laden for deceiving the Taliban
     leader, Mullah Omar, and for insulting the Prophet Muhammad by
     comparing the September 11 attacks to the early raids of the Ansar
     warriors. The lapsed jihadist even calls for the formation of a
     special Islamic court to try Osama bin Laden and his old comrade
     Ayman al-Zawahri.
     The disclosures from Mr. Sharif, also known as Dr. Fadl and Abd
     al-Qadir ibn Abd al-Aziz, have already opened a rift at the highest
     levels of Al Qaeda. The group's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, a former
     associate of the defecting theologian in Egypt, personally mocked
     him last month in a video, remarking that he was unaware Egyptian
     prisons had fax machines. Meanwhile, leading Western analysts are
     saying the defection of Mr. Sharif indicates the beginning of the
     end for Al Qaeda.

   So much for all the pundits who claim that the Iraq war was the wrong
   war. So much for the liberals who claim that we're making more enemies
   than friends by fighting Muslim extremists. So much for the Cinday
   Sheehans of the world who think we should all just get along.
   Anyone who claims that war doesn't solve anything is either a liar or
   a fool. Our country tried diplomacy, negotiation and appeasement of
   Muslim extremists for thirty years with no success. Then that "crazy"
   "cowboy" Bush said, "You're either with us or against us", a statement
   constantly ridiculed by the supposedly intelligent elites, and the die
   was cast.
   Now Al Qaeda is learning, just as did Japan, that it's not wise to
   wake the sleeping giant. Hopefully the end will be a peaceful world in
   the Mideast like we now have with Europe and Japan, both of whom were
   once enemies and lost after dragging America into wars it didn't want.
