re: Bush and Cheney deserve alot of criticism, no doubt. But there are a lot of things wrong with the Middle East that have nothing to do with Bush or Cheney.

True.

re: We spend so much time being apologists for the Middle East Muslims, that we seem to be ignoring the fact that Islam and Middle East Muslims need to do some serious introspection and see if they are really part of a culture that can leap into the modern world. Or are they a religion and culture that is doomed to implode and continue to fall behind as all of the world's other religions embrace modernity and find a way to advance themselves and their religion?

I'm not an apologist. I just don't think we should spend our lives, our reputation and our dollars trying to change the behavior of Middle East Muslims. Bush and Cheney lead my country; it's my responsibility to try to change their behavior.
