Suprise: Al Qaeda Against Peace Conferences

By Charlie

For a conference that accomplished nothing, AQ seems pretty upset about it:

CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida's deputy leader denounced last month's Mideast peace conference in Annapolis, Md., as a "betrayal" of Palestinians in a new audio message posted Friday on an Islamic militant Web site. ...Al-Zawahri mainly addressed Arabs, urging them to condemn the Annapolis conference and label Mahmoud Abbas as "the traitor," adding that the Palestinian "brother-president sold you out in Annapolis and in its aftermath."

1. We own the internet, why do we let Islamic militants have websites?
2. Remember AQ's grand strategy:

al Qaeda's battle plan calls for driving the Americans out of Iraq, establishing an Islamic regime in as much of the country as possible and then extending the holy war to other Arab countries, including Egypt, Lebanon and Syria.

This 4-step plan for world domination leaves no room for negotiations with the infidel. Most of the countries that attended the Annapolis peace conference are led by regimes that AQ would like to overthrow after they establish their caliphate *somewhere.* The sad thing about all of this is that most efforts to actually solve the Arab-Israeli conflict will meet resistance from many of the Arab autocracies that have created a grievance industry around blaming all of their ills on Israel or America. As long as there are Palestinians being "oppressed," the governments in the Middle East have an excuse for their failures.

What makes you think we own the internet?

IP address allocation:
AfriNIC Africa, portions of the Indian Ocean
APNIC Portions of Asia, portions of Oceania
ARIN Canada, many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, and the United States
LACNIC Latin America, portions of the Caribbean
RIPE NCC Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia

Then there is the hydra:
ICANN -- http://www.icann.org/structure/ which basically sorta tries to set rules (while meeting in exotic locations) for the Internet.

Heck, we can't even stop SPAM. What makes you think we can stop Islamists on the Internet?

Sounds like the same kind of PC asshats who complain about the naked women on old WWII nose art, and then try to have the historical images altered or removed.

God I hate that crap.
