No, I do not want to declare a billion people our enemy. Where did you get such a notion?

On the other hand, I'm not willing to declare a billion people our "friends" either. I live in New York. I saw with my own eyes what they did here. And I will stay, even though I know these same people would love nothing more than to nuke us or hit us with a bio/chem attack.

Given the risks involved (the lives of millions of Americans), I expect people to prove their friendship and goodwill toward us. If they are unwilling or unable to do that, then they are--as our President has said--our enemies.

Pretty clear, I think.

You forget that there are declared American enemies, like Iran or Iraq. And many more anti-American people in all "friendly" muslim countries. You can be pretty sure that Saddam will defy the US. They don't owe the allegiance to the US and bombing them without any evidence of their direct involvement in these attacks would have no justification.
