Thanks for that post. He is one of the few who actually get it. President Bush has to stop telling the people that the terrorists hate us because of our freedoms. They hate us right now because we stand directly in their path to a greater Islamic empire. Iraq is the key to the region. If Iraq falls to them, so too will Syria and Iran. And with all that oil and nuclear technology, well....
If Iraq can be stabilized, then Syria and Iran will be isolated and can be dealt with. Remember, more than half of the population of Pakistan sides with the terrorists.
