Frank, you said>"Doesn't help one stomach this dismal oversimplication of the situation in the world."

Maybe not, but it's another point of view, and it was a refreshing alternative to the "burn, kill and electrocute" we get lately. Our finger's been in the dyke for so long instead of patching up the wall, that we all stand to suffer from all of this. It becomes self-perpetuating.
Certainly the problems are monumental, but we HAVE BEEN making progress on many issues over the years. Some disagree with the fighting terror with terror stance, instead of looking at the issues and oversights that ALLOWED such a tragedy as 9/11 to happen in our country.
In Europe, they have done things a little differently to guard against their terrorists.

>"Believe this crap if you wish Lindy."

It is NOT crap, Frank!
It is another perspective into the complex issue of hatred and revenge by a disenfranchised people, and how their religion is diametrically opposed to ours. More hatred and revenge will not stop this.
It will not cancel out the problem. There HAS to be another way, and we need to find it. Didn't you say somewhere that you raised four daughters? Did you do it by force?

>"The rest of us will be be busy fighting to save your asses."

Please don't give me THAT crap!
Men and women chose to sign up to serve their country. It's the bureaucrats, the politicians and all the middle men in-between who DON"T protect us from the unsavory characters who CREATE these problems and dangers for us in the first place!
Take off your Uncle Sam hat and get real.
