Thomas Jefferson wrote this to John Jay "The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise."
The barbary pirates attacked ships that did not pay tribute to them because it was viewed as disrespect to their muslim superiority complex.George Washington was weaker in dealing with Barbary Pirates as opposed to Thomas Jeffersons approach ,he was weaker because he paid them ransom money to the muslim nations of the Barbary Coast that held people ransom. On the other hand when Jefferson became president,he issued letters of marquee and sent marines that marched 500 miles into Tripoli to liberate americans who were taken as slaves and imprisoned during the Barbary wars. Obviously not much changes....especially in the middle east. I hope the president gets the u.s. troops out of the middle east,they dont belong there . But to take in thousands of refugees isn't just as simple as that, Germany just showed bravery to take refugees but they also had massacres because of it. I do not believe in REPEATING ERRORS.....................errors twice over is a mistake.
I no longer believe Ron Paul's policies are effective at this stage of middle eastern warfare...we cannot continue taking refugees in by the thousands without actually figuring out for sure who they are. I understand the all life is valuable,but if some innocent people die because we let in some crazies...there is someone who is responsible for that because it was error turned into mistake. Germany messed up not creating a procedure,its clear now they are having major problems and tension between radicals and their own culture.
Notable & Quotable: Jefferson and Adams
"The ambassador from Tripoli tells John Adams and Thomas Jefferson that the Barbary States have a religious duty to wage war on non-Muslim nations."http://www.wsj.com/articles/notable-quotable-1449618087
