Hawk, appreciate your candor and would add that Islam is a reality, it is not going away and will most likely become more radicalized as time wears on, IMO.
Obviously we can not just obliterate it with its millions of peoples but IMO the civilized, free world must develop a "Mindset" towards its radical policies and beliefs, as long as the Worlds peoples require Oil... the Middle East will be a factor.
Another consideration along with the Oil is Israel, as long as Israel exists in the ME with American support it will be a focus point for Arab, Islamic, Muslim hatred, now where do you go with that one...???
I live in a multi racial community within a few miles of Dearborn, MI (the 2nd largest Muslim, ME population outside the USA)...Trust me... the Moderate elements of the ME hate the Jews and disrespect the West in general and always will, I see and hear a lot in my neighborhood...
Mr Rogers would not be a happy camper here...
IMO, the USA Foreign Policy and our pathetic & bureaucratic style of implementing it around the world is 1/2 the problem that we deal with...
Sorry for the rambling...
