Tom:

Am I a fan of the acceptability of strategic lying for tactical reasons?
No. But I do believe our President has a fine line to walk when it comes to this subject. There is nothing to gain by having the entire Muslim nation hate us.

I am concerned about possible sleeper cells in our country.
The problem is, we don't know our enemy, other than Muslim extremists males between the ages of 17-50.

I am a fan of someone laying out their position in a concise and logical format w/o resorting to name calling.
I understand that in the post you are referring to, name calling exists. I believe that was in response to being spoken to in that manner.

In my opinion, name calling neither strengthens nor advances one's argument.
