Open Letter To The Ba’ath Party
By Mitch Berg
“Ba’ath Party Warns It Will Hold The US Responsible”, warn the headlines, if Hussein is executed. So says a Ba’ath-affiliated website:
“Our party warns again of the consequences of executing Mr. President and his comrades,” the statement said.
“The Baath and the resistance are determined to retaliate, with all means and everywhere, to harm America and its interests if it commits this crime,” the statement added, referring to Baath fighters as “the resistance.”
Oh, goodie. Launch an attack on U.S. soil. Try to ding us on our home field.
You want to guarentee a hard-line response from the American Street? You want to neuter the pacifist, accomodationist wave that is about the slither into Congress? Do it. Attack us here in the States. I triple dog dare you.
Even Democrats, mostly, aren’t stupid enough to ignore that.
