It is refreshing to read a lot of these comments. War has been declared on us . Call it jihad , or call it what you will. It,s a bitter pill to swallow . And hard to fathom, coming as it is from the middle ages , or at least that mindset. But the good news, if there is any, is that we're at war with the flintstones. I never voted republican in my life, but i appreciate the fact that the bush administration is taking it to these crazies. we may very well be a decadent society, but we're being scrutinized under the worlds magnifying glass right now. How well would any of the islamic societies hold up under such judgement. Poeple have a perfect right to demonstrate against Bush's policies if they see fit . I would just like to walk among them and ask what about sadams mass graves? How about osama's foreign policy. It's very easy to express indignation ,righteous or not in an open democratic society. But it works a lot better if you think for yourself about the issues, and not get swept up in some mindless and dated dogma.
