You make a good point, decrying Clinton's cynical attacks on Moslem foes. These people seem to be disposable to the President. When pressed, he won't hesitate to throw a few overboard in an effort to keep his reign afloat.
His visit to Palestine garnered all sorts of good will, which Mr. Clinton promptly squandered as soon as Rep. LaHood prepared to take up the gavel.
I think, however, that you press your point too far by claiming that 850,000,000 Moslems align themselves with bin Laden, and:
That's more than twice the population of the US wanting to get even.
I'd like to see the poll that reached world-wide Islam and I'd like to see the questions that were posed. Until then -- and probably afterwards -- this whole line of reasoning strikes me as false and unfair.
Although perhaps unintended, your statement smacks of irrational fear mongering. It not-so-subtly dehumanizes the majority of Moslem faithful as "zealots" ready to commit terror against Americans.
Such anti-Moslem sentiments likely both arise from, and contribute to, the same public consciousness that allows Clinton to get away with it. Under these conditions, we're bound to see a rise in the shoot-first-and-let-Allah-sort-'em-out crowd.
Despite America's distrust of the President, that dog still wags, and not just for Clinton.
