But if we can drag this out a couple more years, long after the present crisis is over, then guess who is a shill-in next Presidential election?
I've been thinking about this a bit myself and I haven't come to the same conclusion as you. IMHO, the next election will feature Bush, some one on to the left of Bush urging diplomacy, and someone to the right of Bush urging military escilation. I beleive this thing is just gaining momentum and will definetly be *the* major issue in the next exelection. A lot depends on how Bush handles things right now - too reckless, and he throws it to the Diplomat, too slow and his throws it to the Militant. It seems to me most unlikely that he will be able to play the middle effectively.
Well. I'm certainly glad sys$manager got the inside scoop for us. No individual though in Afghanistan? Or in China (Tiananmen Square not withstanding). Gee, thanks for telling us.
To start off, who exactly do you refer to as "the enemy"? If I read you correctly, the whole of the Islamic/Arabic world. Sorry, sweeping overgeneralization.
Point well taken. However, there clearly is a conflict. Hence there must be two sides. "The enemy" must be the people on the other side (I'm in the U.S., btw).
And the original post was generalizing. And minimalizing. Sometimes that aids concise communication. There is definetly more to the problem than a simple culture war. But the actions suggested would be, IMHO, more effective and humane than most I've heard so far.

Just what I've been thinking.

I don't think man should even have the option to create and distroy life, that's something that is God's alone.
Well, sorry. Man does have that option now; thus it is not God's alone. Deal with it.
