And just what will be the fall-out of electing Joseph Lieberman, a very jewish man, to the office of POTUS?

With our enemies ranting and raving anti-jewish rhetoric, how in the world could a jewish President even seem remotely sane?

Wouldn't Arabs everywhere, including here, rise up and condemn us even more? To me, it would be like putting a bulls-eye on our back.

Mr. Lieberman seems to have more common sense and "niceness" than his co-horts, but I would truly fear if he won the office.

I hope you are not saying that being a Jew disqualifies anyone from the presidency, or any other public office, in this land. We have quite enough of this sort of religious discrimination, both overtly, in terms of active antisemitic, anti-catholic, or anti "fundamentalist" rhetoric directed at candidates, and covertly, in terms of the kind of opposition to good, principled candidates for office who adhere to and profess their religious and ethical principles publicly.

Lieberman, although a fellow Jew, would never receive my vote for president, but because of his policies, not his religion. But disqualified? Please NOT!

Wouldn't matter, there's plenty of anti-American and anti-Christian rhetoric to go around as well. They're not killing Jews in Southeast Asia, or in Iraq. They're killing infidels.

You've obviously bought in to the media/academia characterization of the WOT as being an outgrowth of the Israeli/Palestinian issue. It is not. Bin Laden and the other terrorist organizations didn't start using the Pali angle until recently -- Binny's original gripe was the U.S. presence in the Muslim holyland of Saudi Arabia, but, like any good jihadist, he built on whatever unjustified resentment he could find in any corner of the globe -- and the Palis (never mind that they're despised by/barred from other Arab lands) are tailor-made expendable fodder for the "cause."

By your reasoning, if we could just hide all the Jews in some cellar, the Arabs won't be mad at us. I've got news for you, according to the Koran (the vehicle though which Arab psychosis -- described so well in Post #8 -- has been spread throughout non-Arab lands)athiests will be the first to be exterminated, then Jews and Christians, although the latter "People of the Book" will have a choice: dhimmitude (slavery) or death. No one is exempt from Jihad in the name of Allah. Americans already have a bullseye painted on their backs, because our Democratic Republic presents the biggest, and possibly last, obstacle to the spread of the religion of death.
