Your right, this is actually at least a regional war of radical Islam against western civilization, but we are being rather stealth so we can do the most effective work before the main body of this erupts.

Yet again, if Bush can get some Democracies going in there, that could save lots of deaths from occurring.
A impossible task, but I'm for him giving his best effort in the name of peace.

I agree, Bush is treading a thin line domestically and in foreign relations. He is doing as well as anyone could expect, we are very lucky to have him leading Western civilization at this time in history.

But I really think this thing is going to explode. The islamists are not that bright. The already have the English speaking world against them, and the Russians. Given the chance they will piss off everybody, including the Germans and maybe even the French. Now that Saddam is not giving out any more bribes, I think that sooner or later the west will ally and victory will come that much sooner.
