I think I heard that before, but I have never taken the trouble to verify it.

Pan; thanks for your clarification. On Islam, the vast percentage probably want peace, but be careful of their definition of "peace".

The word in Arabic implys their version of "peace" which is when the entire world population bows to Islam.

This is why democracy is so important. I believe freedom can open up a whole new world to any people who have felt the boot of oppression. In many ways the Iraqi people have been so crippled by Saddam's regime, that they have no idea what freedom and democracy look like, let alone what they FEEL like. But, I have hope for their future, and cheer them on.

Yes- I know what you mean. When people call Bush a "fascist" do they even know what they are talking about? I too get sick of badly applied NAZI comparisons. I should have found a better anology.
