I totally agree that we need to fight them. How one goes about that is the problem. I am very much distressed that nobody, especially Bush, is willing to address that the problem is Islam and its inherent shortcomings. Even the neocon hawks don't want to go there. There's no need to rehash pros and cons over the Iraq situation, it's been done before. My condolences for any losses suffered on the two attacks. I'm glad you made it out of there.

I don't care what the neocons want. I know what *I* want, which is to take these bastards on ASAP, because it will only get worse if we don't. Given that the choices on the table are the Bush strategery and appeasement/cowardice, I'll back the Bush strategery.

IMO, we can coexist with Muslims without much strain.

It is the extremist Wahabis, staunchly entrenched in Saudi Arabia, that are the root of the problem.

And, with our hand holding Pres in charge, we are left to hope GWB is the cleverest most subtle diplomat in history (yeah, sure).
