>"our own loyal Muslims " Where are our loyal Muslims? Can there be Muslims loyal to the U.S. - is that possible? Certainly there are no royal Saudis loyal to the U.S., for example Why haven't the Imams declared all those who support terrorists to be criminals, preach this in their mosques, and say criminals won't go to heaven? One of our 10,000 Royal Enemies, Prince Turki-as-Sudairi, warns "there will be more support for Islamic groups". He does NOT say extremists. It sounds like he is saying Islam (as he defines it) is the enemy of the US. Am I wrong here? Please correct any misinterpretation. Not being an expert, I can only read statements by Islamic fundamentalists and moderates alike, and I don't see much difference. The moderates sit on the sidelines while the fundies do the dirty work.

Hi Raj. I don't think the Indonesian government is that much in threat of being toppled. I think Pakistan and Saudi Arabia governments do stand a pretty good chance of being toppled. As scary as that prospect is, that is exactly what may be necessary to rid the world of terror. This will take a long time but we need to know who ALL of our enemies are ... governments who cannot control their civilian populations are the enemy also. We can't tolerate inadequate regimes in Muslim countries any longer. Let our enemies be our enemies and our friends be our friends. It's time to stop the double talk and really deal with the greater problem at hand ... the failure of some Muslim governments to control their populations. If we have to take on these countries as all out enemies it will be better for us ... we have the military superiority to take them on ... we also have alot of friends in the world. We need to weaken these countries to a point that they can't hurt other countries and will be so broke they will spend all their time trying to figure out how to eat instead of trying to terrorize the populations of civilized and progressive countries.

Hello Neeraj. You said....." I hope the situation can be kept under control."..... With all due respect I think the situation can be kept under control if the USA takes their biggest and baddest bomb and drop it in the centre of bagdad. Then ask the muslim countries who would like to be next. I bet there would be no takers, this is the only language they seem to understand so why not speak their language. And I bet it would shut up those muslims in our own countries who openly back bin hi-den. And those muslims who live in our countries and enjoy our freedom's and the freedom to practice their religion and still openly speak out in favour of bin hi-den are as low as the filthy scum terrorist in Afghanistan.
