The radical Christians trying to make this a holy war have great friends in fundamentalist Islamists trying to do the same.

Rice is brilliant and she's perfectly right.

Exactly so. Anyone who tries to make Islam into our enemy is only carrying water for Bin Laden.

It is a war of Civilization versus Barbarism.

Islam is barbaric.

The question confronting us is: is Western Civilization worth saving if the alternative is barbarism?

Most of the left--including the press--says NO.

If we are at war for Civilization then we had better be clear on who the enemy is.

If you believe that then you must also have hated liberation of Iraq, instead arguing perhaps to kill them all or force them to convert?

Never understood how anyone who has this hatred towards all Muslims could ever support President Bush. Including the fact he's the only president to court Muslim votes, put a Koran on his desk, and work for liberating Muslims in the Middle East. Including attending tons of events, and consistly denouncing anyone who mixes radicals with moderates.

It's an absolute oxymoron.

Needless to say, you think you know better than President Bush or Condoleezza Rice, eh?

at a minimum, weekly rants are made in Palestine, in Saudi Arabia, in Iran at mosques calling for the destruction of the Zionists (Israelis) and Americans ... this is a huge problem ... pretending it doesn't exist works for awhile ... I don't have a problem with strategy ...

On September 10, 2001, in New York City, at the Pentagon and at a few airports around the United States (and elsewhere), there was a belief this is a problem one-half a world away ... something that would not affect the USA domestic homeland ...

on September 11, 2001, there was a different understanding, sadly ...

Or more precisely, against radical Islamism, not against Islam.

"This is a war against Militant Islam".

I do not believe there is any other kind.

"Needless to say, you think you know better than President Bush or Condoleezza Rice, eh?"

So it's wrong to differ with their wrong headed beliefs on this eh?

Grow up.

the issue isn't an absolute hatred of Muslims ... which is preposterous ... the issue is whether a large degree of their population is actively, yes actively involved in covert terrorist operations around the world ... if you haven't seen this, you haven't been paying attention ...

genocide of Iraqi citizens? ... puhleeze ...
