I agree, but to speak out makes these leaders targets for the Jihad. Sure, I'd like to see more brave ones speak out against their murderous brethren, but simply showing up for a White House dinner with the leader of TheGreatSatan is making a point as well. This isn't just about Dubyuh reaching out to the Muslim-American community for Ramadan, the reverse is true also.

I am aware from reading, history and news, how much ingrained and "meritorious" is the practise of deception, of a false front to the infidel, among the muslims who make victimology, terror and suicidal-murder an article of faith. And that those princes of deception and death are the leaders among the modern Muslim community around the world today.
Based on that, I believe, I suspect, I fear, that your reasoning in support of Mr. Bush entertaining in any proximity these princes and leaders of a religion currently dark and bloody red in so many of its precincts, with few observed vigorous cleansing efforts towards real peace -- that is standing up to the violent and suicidal forces, that the reasons you gave lack any measurable current validity, and that the opposite of that bonhommie we'd all wish -- that is a strenghtening of malevolence -- is the greater direct effect of such misplaced friendliness.
