Ask yourself why Bush flat out lied by saying immediately after 9/11 " Islam means peace" this was a flat out lie, Islam translated from arabic means submission, wouldnt we have been happy to know this was he worried about scattered mosque burnings? dead Arabs in the streets? I submit to you that the Muslim religion and its adherents mean to see all progressive societies dead! Moderate muslims dont exist if they claim to be moderate its a lie my proof is in their own terrorist training manual the Koran!

Because he didn't want us to have to go to war with the entire Islamic world. He was about to send troops into Muslim nations in order to go after terrorists and didn't want them all shot on sight. What would you have done and how many American lives would YOU have sacrificed in order to please a couple dozen armchair generals?

What did you want Bush to say?-- "Release the hounds!!!"?? After what happened on 9/11, did you want him to make a fiery speech about Islam, encouraging people to attack Moslems living here in the US? YOU are exactly the kind of small-minded nitpicker who is going to take a simple statement by our president designed to ease tensions and call him a liar as though he were as sorry as Bill Clinton. Claptrap-- you chose your name so well. You are indeed full of it.

Would you at least wipe the froth off of your mouth, stop, and think for even a nano-second?

The WTC came crashing down after Arabs hijacked and flew American planes into it, killing thousands of Americans. Same thing happened to the Pentagon, but with less casualties.

Americans' passions and shock were overwhelming. Never since the 1860s had this country seen anything remotely close to that on our soil.

With Americans' blood boiling hot enough to melt steel, the President wasn't about to go and make a statement on national TV disparaging Arabs and/or Islam for the sake of those Arabs and Muslims in AMERICA! Had he made a statement like you would have wanted, even more blood would have been shed in our streets. Enough innocent blood had been spilled by those barbarians.

The President of the United States of America does NOT need to lead a mob mentality, or make a statement(s) that would be construed in such a way.

Your line of thinking would have reduced us to the level of those barbarians who attacked us! We are AMERICANS. We are better than that.
