There are close to 2 billion Muslims in the world today.

What utter idiocy it would be to start a fight with all of them, rather than simply take out the ones responsible for, or connected with 9/11?

Starting a religious war is the exact goal of the bin Ladens of the world.

The number of Muslims in the world is only slightly in excess of 1 billion; thus their number is not much closer to TWO billion, than it is to zero.

It is that latter figure that is the objective of the Christian world; let us hope USA will be of some use to God's cause; otherwise, He will find earthly powers that can.

So is exaggerating the total number of Muslims...

Laughable.

"Starting a religious war is the exact goal of the bin Ladens of the world."

EXACTLY.

I feel sorry for GWB that so much of the base of the Republican Party is made up of naive, narrow-minded, single-issue religious people who are incapable of seeing the big picture.

Bush is walking a tight rope in trying to keep the lid on powder kegs everywhere.

SO WHAT if Islam isn't a "religion of peace"?? Just because Bush doesn't say that, doesn't mean that he doesn't know it.

How smart would he be to scream that sort of accusation (true or not) in their faces while he, at the same time, is asking many of them to stand with us and help us "bring the EVIL DOERS to justice"????
