It’s really unfortunate that Bush has been so obsessed with the idea of making nice to Muslims that he seems unwilling to intervene in any way to protect Christians. Muslims won’t do it voluntarily, or at least, not the radical flakes in Iraq (although I’m sure that the great majority of the Muslims there really don’t care and wouldn’t bother Christians, left to their own devices). But Bush, like Clinton before him, seems bound and determined to make it clear that the US has no particular bond with Christians.
Pssst.... in case you missed it, the radical flakes in Iraq don't even protect other Muslims. They're terrorists.
That you fail to distinguish between terrorists and Muslims in general, marks you as rather short-sited. If we are to win in Iraq, it will be because the Muslim population of Iraq learns to behave in a civilized manner -- and that seems to be happening.
But if you want to lose in Iraq, by all means take care to lump every Muslim there into the "terrorist" camp -- and you'll get your wish.
