To add to your brilliant post.
The radical Islamic fundamentalist we face must be purged. I have only heard this from a Special Forces Instructor on Rush and Rabbi Marc Gellman from the God Squad on Imus, (and one other who will go unnamed) and that is that Islam must go through a reformation.
What GWB is doing will be talked about by our Grad kids if we survive and that is change this subculture of death within Islam and get them to see the light.This is HUGE.
They can't denounce these thugs when they hold the whole community at bay. It would be like an American of Italian decent telling Tony Soprano to go straight (I can say this because I am 2nd gen American from Italian roots).
I have a number of Conservative friends and when we get together to talk politics, they have an interesting take on the War. They have felt all along it wasn't about Iraq, It is all about IRAN. This is were all the wackiness came from. I think they have a point. Get rid of the extremist Mullah's there and the picture may change quite a bit. The things going on in Iran with the kids revolting in the last few weeks are getting Zero airplay with the "BS" media, makes me sick.
