Politicians - Rick Santorum
The former Senator says "they don't think like we do".
I think that applies to the terrorists, AND our Senators...

From an interview with Hugh Hewitt:
"I’ve got to tell you, I’m very disappointed, and disappointed in all four of those, my former colleagues. They should know better. In fact, they do know better. They know that this is a very serious threat, they know that if we are to withdraw our troops and stop resisting their attempts to conquer that region of the world, that they will soon end up on our doorstep. If we didn’t learn anything from the events of 9/11, certainly the Islamists’ attempts of attacking our European allies, particularly the UK, should give us some pause that these people will prey on weakness. They saw the transition of power from Tony Blair to Gordon Brown, and they saw the appeasement of the Brits of trying to, you know, get out of the Middle East and get the troops withdrawn. And so what was their response? They stepped up their terror attacks. I mean, you have to understand, they don’t think like we do. They don’t see people reaching out saying let’s work and compromise, and let’s try to find meaningful middle ground as anything but weakness. They will exploit that weakness by going after you. And so learn lessons. Don’t learn the lessons you learned growing in your own neighborhood, because they’re not growing up in those neighborhoods. They’re growing up in very different neighborhoods with very different worldviews, and responses to different stimuli. We need to understand that, and we need to react accordingly."
