Compare & Contrast

Wishful Thinking:

"I believe that after Bush retires in few years real peace will come to the world and stay for a very long period and there will be no more wars in the world for the first time of human history.USA will stop opening wars alone around the world. United nations will be very effective. Arabs will be free countries,may be with secular systems.Common sense will win. Religions will live all together all over the world including ?slamic countries.I have a dream,every year one day all the people from every race and religion will get together and pray to God for peace." by Sultan


Reality Based Thinking:

"When a majority of people of Muslim faith rise up in anger against the terrorists, the dictators, the murderers who are in positions of authority, and demand that religions live in peace a major change for the good will take place on this troubled planet we all find ourselves on at this present time." by John Randall Peacher
