I agree. The problem is Islam. We'd better learn to deal with it.

Why Islamic terrorism is not going to go away is the religion requires confrontation with non- believers, Infidels.

It can be tamped down but it will always rise up again. I interpret the Koran the same way Osama bin Laden and the rest of the the murderous Islamists do.

I'm sorry the Koran doesn't say something I could live with, but it is very clear what God (Allah) wants done. Kill the non-believers or get them to submit and pay protection money. - Tom

Alas, nothing in the history of either the region or the Pali leadership supports your optimistic outlook.

As P.J O'Rourke said "Give War A Chance".

If the Muslims keep on chanting "Death to America" they might just convince Americans that there really is a religious war going on.

If so, within a decade or two, children will be asking "Daddy, what was a Muslim?"

HellO, I so agree. Condi is NAIVE and frankly STUPID to think that concessions will help. "If there were no Jews" is, I am afraid, the only thing the Muzzies want. And this takes care of some of the problem, in their eyes. Being hopeful is FOOLISH.

It can be tamped down but it will always rise up again.

Thus to deal ever with evil.

“This is a man of peace,” Rice concluded. “His government is a government that is seeking peace. And it is the goal and the policy of the United States government to support a Palestinian leadership that is, we believe, determined to come to a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” she said."

What comes to mind is those folks who hold a chain with something on it, pennant or something, they swing it back in forth in front of you - "You are getting very sleepy...at the count of three you will close your eyes," or... "you are getting very peaceful, very peaceful, at the count of three, one, two, three..you will be a peaceful Palestinian." Snap - everyone wakes up out of the trance and - wala ..we have peace.

"My hunch, and it's just a hunch is that James Baker got to him. And what is Baker's role in the administration? Perhaps coordinating certain policy positions and how Bush can get them through Congress. Baker has always been seen as a "conciliator".Just a guess, but IMO, Baker is helping Bush in some capacity, and Israel is being offered as the sacrificial lamb."

You're not the only one who has been wondering this!

Really, ain't that the truth!
