Your opinion and insights are always appreciated.

I cannot take exception with what you say but I wonder,speculate as it were as to whether,after 9/11 there could have been any appeasement. When we had the favor of the world would it not have been prudent to go to the U.N for condemnation of OBL and at the same time mediate with the Arab world to oppose this fanatic and his interpretation of the Koran.. Do you think we might have gained by some diplomacy instead of a rush to war ? I equivocate on this because it seems that for every action there has to be an equal opposite reaction and right now I believe that nothing has been accomplished to ensure our safety as a people, YOu know the saying, one Arab says to another, remember that man who offended me once? Yes, replies the other, 20 year ago ? Yes, well I just killed him. Why did you wait so long was the reply.

Am I coming from being scared that we never will have peace now and that terrorism will be with us for decades.. or more.

NO one ever spoke of appeasement, diplomacy, condemnation but emerging from that to something more constructive than what we have now. So many lost lives. So many more to go and to me so futile. JUST IMHO...

Thank you for giving me more insight into madrassa,Wahhabism how did you ever learn all of the things you know ? Amazing and why I find your posts the most interesting and enlightening.
