I can't deny that there is a radical segment of Christians, but isn't there always some form of over expressed radicalism everywhere. Frankly, I can't see how you can compare the Islamic radicalism to that of a small segment in the U.S.

And bear in mind you don't see that opinion shared or propagated by the masses. Islam is quite different, and unfortunately, as you mentioned, its actions and utter disrespect for humanity is quite disturbing to see in today's age.

We are dealing with a religiously suppressed world view that the cause of much of the anti-american views in the middle east.

I fear GW is right. This is a 50 year process that our country must be committed to for the long haul. We have to show the people in the middle east the benefits of a free religious society and disprove the notion of that man is not capable of governing himself.

They have no experience to realize how or why liberty and freedom will improve their lives. Their fear of democracy is as much an issue as is the extreme nature of their religious culture.

This commission is not out to seek the truth, they are simply pandering to the left and trying to lay blame on the Bush administration prior to the election.

It is appalling and has turned into a circus sideshow. This commission's hearings should never have been published so widely or broadcast on TV. I am sick and tired of the news media's coverage of the precedings. How dare they disrespect the families and rescue workers who lost their lives. And Lehman - don't even get me started.
I don't remember his outrage about the terrorist attacks in that killed 241 marines in Beirut. How dare his declare 9/11's handling a scandal.

It is no wonder that with the likes of the crew on this commission, the rest of the world thinks were nuts.

This election season is just heating up, and before it is all over, it is going to get worse.

The left is never called upon to back their claims (I mean lies) with fact. Instead, our conservative representatives that are in office sit back and allow this administrations good name to be dragged through the mud. This modern monstrocity known as the democratic party has been hijacked by the peacenik, anti-war, anti-american, pro-UN, wackos that time and time again put the interests of the accused, and the well being of the enemy ahead of our own.

I am tired of the lefts contradictory rhetoric which out of the left side of its mouth lacks the courage and moral clarity to support our troops and our military, and out of the right side of its mouth - purports to support our troops. Let's wake up people. There is much work to be done if we are going to ensure this critical election goes our way this November.
