If fighting to defeat the jihadis and Baathists since then has caused the jihadis to target those who help us, then denying any aid to America and the new Iraqi government will surely earn you safety from the jihadis, right?
And having a population sympathetic to the same jihadis and Baathists and who think America is a bigger threat to world peace than the jihadis and Baathists must surely protect you from jihadi anger, right?
Well, apparently not:
Police arrested nine people Monday, including an Islamic militant previously convicted on terrorism charges and freed from prison two years ago, officials said.
Le Figaro and Le Parisien newspapers said the alleged cell's suspected targets included the Metro, a Paris airport and the Paris headquarters of the Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, or DST, a police intelligence and counterterrorism agency. The reports did not identify the airport.
So I ask again, what won't piss off our enemies?
Really, if the French of all people are considered the enemy by the jihadis, who in the world isn't their enemy?
Just kill the jihadis. Worrying about what makes them angry is a futile exercise.
