Most of what I feel about some of this I will keep to myself for a bit trying to give everyone a chance to fix a very serious problem.

I know we have been falling all over ourselves for the last few years to make the muslim nation feel comfortable that we are not at war with their religion. If the only way to convince them of this is to let down our defenses in some way or to be less aggressive in the defense of the US then I say stop the talking..they are not listening.

I do not recall any condemnation of the Bin Laden remarks although I may have missed that, but that would help the way I feel. I am speaking of condemnation by the middle east folks our President was speaking to yesterday !

Again, how can you criticize an attempt to keep peace and fix that mess over in the middle east !
