There are only two choices

You can read this comment thoroughly and leave a comment saying how great it is or you can appease the terrorists.

There are only two choices.

You can go see that great new Dodgeball (A true Underdog Story) movie or you can appease the terrorists.

There are only two choices.

You can either run around with no pants or you can appease the terrorists.

There are only two choices.

You can either appease the terrorists or you can appease the terrorists.

There are only two choices.

"There are two approaches to terrorists. One is to fight them with every weapon you can -- the military, intelligence services, interdiction of money flows, diplomacy. That is what George W. Bush is doing against the Islamist terrorists who struck Sept. 11. The other way is appeasement. Give the terrorists some of what they want, and hope that they will stop being terrorists any more."

The above quote is from Michael Barone. You can fight the war in the way President Bush has fought it or you can be an appeaser.

There are only two choices.

Only in the real world, there are a lot more choices. For example, you don't have to read this thoroughly (although if you got this far, my guess is that you have). You could have just skimmed it. You could have skipped it and read down to where I talk about comic books. You could of moved over to, say, Pen-Elayne on the Web. There are any number of things you could do.

And there are a lot of different strategies for dealing with Terrorism, many of which, in my opinion, would be more effective than what President Bush has done. I could go into ideas and suggestions, but that's not really the point. I just want to point out the inherent fallacy in saying . . .

There are only two choices.
