That's it in a nutshell. Islam is anti-free thought, anti-self determination and anti-democratic. The only thing that can push aside Islam is freedom.
On the other side of the coin, the biggest threat to America is what is converse to everything America stands for. Islam.
Forget the "weapons of mass destruction" BS as the supposed reason for going to Iraq (it was agood reason). We are now seeing why we should have been in Iraq . The seed of democracy has been brought to the oppressed peoples of Iraq. And the whole middle east. This in America's national interest from a security standapoint, an economic standpoint and a moral standpoint.
Bush is right. Being free and being able to do what you want is much better than being under the thumb of a dictator. (Or a "religion").
That sums it up. Bin Laden's campaign has certainly been counterproductive. The pressure is now on Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The current regimes have some 'splainin' to do.
These are Muslims that voted in Iraq, grateful and jubilant for the right of self determination and democracy.
