"They can have peace any time they want it. They simply have to take us off their target list."

Clearly anyone targeting us or the principles we live by, is an enemy. I am loyal to the USA for many reasons but these two alone justify putting someone in your "they" category. There are many problems with societies and culture throughout the world that challenge American ideals and principles, some within our own borders. Should we declare any and all part of the "they" group in our war with the Al-Quaida terrorist network?

There are many reasons that I would support opposition to the Saudi Regime. Lack of freedom to choose is among them. There are also things about the Saudi people and the culture that I like. This has little to do with our war against the Al-Quaida network.

I know exactly who we are talking about when we finger the terrorist network and it is not a nation. It is connected groups of people dispersed throughout the world with a specific terrorist agenda. Political opportunism is damaging to our effectiveness.

Who do you think "they" are????
