Your hitting on all cylinders with that statement.
I am afraid that President Bush is about to pull a Jimmy Goober Panama Carter in the Middle East to build his legacy.
The Muslim Arabs will never assimilate with the Western world.
The Western world is to far removed from their 7 century thinking.
“I am afraid that President Bush is about to pull a Jimmy Goober Panama Carter in the Middle East to build his legacy.”
Why am I not surprised? Every US president of late seems to think that they have a mandate from God to resolve a 5000 year-old blood feud. Ego trumps wisdom.

Correct; however the Western world will BE ASSIMILATED into the Islamic world because of its misguided fascination with tolerance and multiculturalism... as long as you bow to the god of “democracy” This is what killed the Roman Empire: tolerance and multiculturalism — as long as you paid tribute to the cult of Rome (the Roman pagan deities) But the Christians would not play the game. In the end Constantine Christianized Rome, and the Roman Empire transformed into the Catholic Roman Empire — with much blood spilled in the process.
Democracy is the “cult” of the Western world, and like Rome, the occident’s fetish for multicultural tolerance will become its undoing; because, like the Christians, the Muslims will not bow down to the false pagan god — they would rather martyr themselves. And because the western mind has lost its ability to think beyond the material world — the result of replacing the Christian faith with secular humanism — it cannot see the train wreck that lay ahead. Similarly, neither did the Romans, until it had run over them.
