Amen to that, my friend! If America hopes to survive, the first thing is to stop being so damned PC-whipped!

If Bush was the American President, instead of President of the World, he would put American interests first. That is a very interesting observation. I think he thinks he is putting America's interests first, but his messianic zeal has blurred the lines.

Excellent! I want a guy like this editor next to me in the foxhole. He knows what the fight's about. He sees the big picture, and communicates it with clarity.

We need to JOLT more people. Terrorist will wipe out our very existence. I see very smart people put on blinders on. They don't want to see the AQ network and SH connection or refuse to understand. The don't want to remember all the other attacks that have been going on since 1979. They think its really made up somewhere in Texas. They don't take the threat seriously.

That's how fanaticism starts. They want religion to rule their affairs. They live in the dark ages. They want people to live in ignorance, fear, proverty and blame the Western World for all their problems. If we break this terrible monopoly and introduce a democracy...fanaticism will dissappear.

I don't think Bush is misguided. I really believe he sees the dangers ahead if we sit on our hands, pretend the problem will go away and the problem will just fix itself by letting the Iraqi's kill each other off. We shouldn't abandon what we started or let the UN take on this important commitment. We made inroads in Afgan. Iraq has been a hot bed of violence. You have terrorist and Saddam loyalist who are trying keep oppressive way of life. They want the Iraqi population to live like battered woman. I hope we have a enough sharpshooter to pick off the trouble makers. We need to stay and finish the job. Iraq has been a secular government since the '60's but it was a socialist one. They can adobt to a democratical system. If people have a chance to have a better life with higher education and having a better standard of living...I don't think they will resort to fanaticism ideals or brutal dictators.

Just keep believing Bush's propaganda and pretend that Muslims want democracy, and that the only "trouble makers in Iraq are the foreigners, etc. and years later after many more Americans have died and billions of tax dollars have been spent on Iraq's infrastructure to the harm of America's infrastructure you might regret projecting your idealism onto the barbarians as a basis of U.S. policy.

I take offense at your insinuation that I hate rather than I think or I know or that I understand what Americans are up against from Islamic aggression/goals.

Do you think that there would be anyone interested in doing a "Daily Muslim Report?" It would be interesting and the media scans FR frequently.... could change the news!

Bush seems like a sincere, though misguided man when he breaks his campaign promise against nation-building. Bring our troops home and let the Iraqi Muslims go back to killing each other and hit 'em hard if they come after us. We did them and the world a kindness by deposing of Saddam. Now let us look after our own interests and bring our troops home and spend our tax dollars here.

Bet on it, -- we will not abandon our Iraqi bases once they are built..
We are there for the long haul, -- but this cannot be admitted politically.
I see us gradually withdrawing from the Iraqi political mess.. - [Who really cares if they kill each other off?], -- while we 'keep the middle east peace' from our fortified bases.
-- Of course, this scenario may be too rational for our DC numb-sculls to follow..
Time will tell.

"...fanatical Muslims...cant get along with their neighbors on much of the planet: France, Chechnya, Bosnia, Indonesia, Spain, Morocco,
India, Tunisia, Somalia, etc. etc. etc. Can anybody name three ongoing world conflicts in which Muslims are not involved?"
Good reference sites (that also tell the truth):

A retired Navy guy showed this to me today. I could not believe it when I first read it, that some newspaper guy wrote this. I came home and immediately searched it out on the Internet and found it. Then came here to see if it was posted yet. Thanks for posting it. This article is so full of truth. Way too many Americans are stupid of these facts and ignore what is going to happen to Western Civilization if this bunch wins this war. The stupid liberals think these people want to be their friends. They are simply stupid that these people will kill every stinking one of them, Dean, Dashhole, Kennedy, Kerry, Klintons, all of them are dead meat. These people are sitting in their caves laughing at us and rolling on the dirt laughing as we destroy ourselves and fight among ourselves. We are doing 90% of their work for them. They just have to set back and watch us implode and kill ourselves with our political correctness. Do you think they worry about political correctness over in bin Laden's hole? Not a stinking chance. This article hits it all on the head. We are sitting on our butts saying it will not happen to me, it does not bother me, my house, my job, my car, etc. etc., so they ignore it. Go on watching stupid ball games and stupid TV shows to see who is the next singing star. All the time the bad guys are planning their next attack and laughing at we stupid Americans, fighting among ourselves. The stupid liberal/leftist/socialist democrats think they are going to be pals with these people. Ain't gonna happen, simply ain't gonna happen. Western civilization is under attack and we are going to implode like the Soviets and it will all be gone.

I could not believe it when I first read it, that some newspaper guy wrote this." I had a little trouble with it myself. The author, Phil Lucas, who wrote this for The News Herald, in Panama City, Florida certainly has a way with words. Straight to the point with no beating around the bushes , as we used to say.
I sure wish more people here would read it also.
