Don't you know that it would be much smarter policy to just flat out call a huge segment world's population murderous terrorist thugs? /sarcasm

They all think it but they can't say it because it is so politically incorrect that they know the media would barbecue them so they have to say nicey-nice things about Islamofascists.

Political correctness is a terrible disease. We should devote more research toward looking for a cure.

Not only that, but there are Muslims that don't really know what they espouse. We don't need the aggravation of ticking them off just because.

There are a LOT of Christians that irritate me to no end. But if you said to me that "Christians are evil and the source of all pain and suffering in the world" I'm going to defend myself and by extension those irritants I wouldn't normally defend.

So, it's just not good political strategy to say things like that. Which is completely different than being naive imo.

Hey, you and I finally agree on something.

I'm not going to join the "whack Condi" crowd. I'm often critical of the prez, but I think we are playing the diplomatic game pretty well. The administration is at least letting the Israeli's kick a little booty. They haven't spouted the idiocies of Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton, and Howard Dean.
