I suppose that we'll just have to disagree.
I think that the Bush Administration is correct to focus its attention to militant Mohammedans that comprise a small minority in SE Asia. Your comments suggest that all Muslims should be targeted. The "kill them all and let God sort them out" approach is neither necessary nor morally defensible.
Actually, the comment about "the last 50 years or so" had absolutely nothing to do with Israel. Rather, this comment describes the period following the independence of Malaysia from the British in the mid-1950s. Since then there has been a small militant minority of Thai Mohammedans that favored separation from the officially Buddhist Kingdom of Thailand. Southern Thailand is majority Muslim and is therefore more culturally similar to Malaysia. Hostility towards Israel among Thai Muslims is not nearly as intense as it is among the Arabs and Iranians, again with the exception of a relatively small minority of whacked-out Wahhabis.
I'm not trying to persuade you, however. Since your mind is made up, I only offer this as an explanation.
Sounds like a good way to leave it. Have a happy new year.
