You know something, I agree with President Bush that we are indeed at war. Where I part ways with President Bush and most Republicans is in defining the enemy. While he is insistent the enemies are extremist Muslims, I believe all of Islam is at war with us. And I'm EXTREMELY uncomfortable the way he cozies up to Muslims.

Now, I'm not registered with any political party, so I've no political agenda anyone has to swallow. That said, if I'm uncomfortable with President Bush acknowledging only radical Muslims, can anyone even begin to understand how uncomfortable I'm going to feel if Democrats, with a peace at any cost mentality, gain too much power during this war?

If Democrats gain control of Congress, I've little doubt they will move to end this war. If that comes to pass, I hope they likewise end the war on drugs. I may be needing the drugs.

You'll be voting Republican, then?

It's called divide and conquer. There are many divisions within the Islamic world. The best tactic is to use those divisions to make make sure that Moslems are fighting amongst themselves, and that some of them are on our side.

There are Moslem soldiers and policemen killing terrorists and Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. We have Moslem allies in Jordan and the Gulf States, Turkey and Indonesia. These Moslems allies may sometimes be working at cross purposes to us, but that's the problem with allies. It happened in WWI and WWII as well. Look at De Gaylor or the Soviets, for instance. And if you look closely at the history of those times you will find a lot more examples.

Fighting a unified Moslem world would be at least ten times harder that the present war on terror.

But the price of those allies is that President Bush has to make nice with them.

I don't think the dems have the say on ending the war. They can cut our funding possibly. They can force our hand to redeploy the troops to Okinawa like Murtha wants. But the war can only end when the crazy muzzies stop their plans to attack us.

So all the dems would be doing is prolonging the war and garanteeing that it will be more bloody for ourside.
