I am amazed by the stupidity of some authors. Most of the Muslim world hates us. Even in Saudi Arabia and Egypt the Muslims hate us.

There are 60 Muslims for every American. Plus the muslims control most of the world oil. If we took them on in military confrontation what would we use for fuel for our ships and planes? Would be retrofit our B-52s with huge rubber bands? Perhaps we could retrofit our aircraft carriers so we could row them to battle.

The fact is we have no choice but to try to divide and conquer. Tom Daschles opposition to drilling for our own oil puts us each day into more of a situation where the Muslims will have us in their control. Their oil will control our economy and our ability to make war on them.

We could not even Nuke all the nations that harbor terrorists. That much nuclear force would destroy us as well as them.

What we have to do is move one step at a time.. One rogue nation at a time and hope to eventually prevail.

Tom Daschle by preventing development of our own oil has done more for the Militant Muslim cause and than all the Osama bin Ladens that will ever live.

There are 60 Muslims for every American.

What's that, Million Man Math? Lest see, over 250 million Americans, times 60 is over 15 billion Muslims? Huh?

Plus it's simply not true that they all hate us. A sizable number do. A sizable number also admire us. Some both hate and admire us. Moreover it sounds like the author has first hand experience. What is mostly true is that in counties where the government is allied to the US those who hate the government hate us. Where the government is hostile to the US (e.g. Iran) those who hate the government like us.

60 for every one american I didn't know they had colonized space yet given that there are not yet 18 billion people on Earth. The are more than a billion Muslim I estimate its somewhere between 4 or 5 muslims for every American. We can live on less oil for the duration fo the very short military campaign to secure the Saudi Oil Fields.

The senate democrats have no idea what security is.. If they can instigate another terrorist attack they will think they can blame Bush...

You only have to nuke the FIRST country.

This seems to be the correct policy, and I hope the one we are pursuing. These people only understand one thing, force. We have the reason and the ability to do this now, we may not have those in alignment in the future.
