I am afraid we have become so PC oriented that that may be our demise.

That is a very good point.  We have progressed from
the firebombing/nuclear attacks of WWII to a country that,
pace our Yugoslavia tactics, was unwilling to take casualties, to a country
that is now unwilling to alienate the enemy.  Too polite to fight?

I just hope our leaders have reconized this and will act accordingly.

If the State Department reflects
The leadership's thinking,
The great Ship of State's
In danger of sinking.

Can you explain why you think this? It appears to me that they are trying to walk a fine line. By this I mean, not trying to upset the Muslims, which, the more I learn, the more suspicious I am becoming of their actions. We better not stop any military actions during Ramadan.
