You have nailed it. Muslims only respect strength and since 700 A.D the only time the Muslims have been relatively quiet is when the West or India has been strong and not afraid to use their strength. No dialogue, treaties, appeasement or concessions ever work with Muslims, their allegiance is only to their demented evil so called religion and nothing else. Unfortunately most people in the West don't understand this and equate Islam as being peaceful just like any other religion and that is the furthest thing from the truth.
Exactly!
And I credit the fact that USA hasn't had a terror attack since 9-11, on Islamist extremists KNOWING Bush will come after them.
