That's one and 10 percent of the world's Muslim population of 1.2 billion."

So if you sympathize with THE CAUSE, you are as guilty as those perpetrating the terror? Naww...but that is beside the point, imho. Obviously, there's some bad blood in the Muslim/Arab world, bad blood regarding the past Holy Wars and topped off with the way the world gave Israel to the Jews once WWII was over. And the leaders of these countries have stoked anti-American furor fer years and years, branding America the Great Satan and whatnot. And fer years America steered clear of open conflict in the region, making the zealots all that much bolder. But we can't just kill them all, we've gotta win over their hearts and minds, exposing the populace to the undeniable FACT that America is actually doing what it can to make this world a better place. And random murder and mayhem should not be a way of life fer anyone. I believe we are in the process of doing just that, and we've gotta convince 1.2 billion folks that we can peacefully coexist, but if they wanna keep spreading terror, we'll kill 'em as they come!!
