The real problem is the fact that our government has a long history of promoting true freedom in the mideast without acknowledging that the dominating religion in the region is all about oppression.
What else is new? Our dear leaders (and I'm not only referring to Bambie here...) think the region will respond to reason with reason. We've completely ignored the fact that the prominent religion his no history of reason, or any intent to get along with the West. They're bent on expansion, and to expand they have to control governments as well as the religious fervor. The last thing we ever should have done is try to reason with fanatics.
