Yes. Certainly some segments of the Muslim world would like that. How do you think this should change? Through ever lasting wars? Or via a genocide of Muslims? Or by walking the difficult path of reconsolidation towards eventual mutual respect and perhaps mutual compassion?

>>Oh, yes. Now I understand! You mean just like the Muslim world wants to do to with Israel, eh? << Dale-- I don't agree with that. Clearly there is a large faction of the Muslim world that is committed to the destruction of Israel, and clearly there is a large faction that is committed to the destruction of Christendom. However, and this is Friedman's arguments, that the extremists must be marginalized. Given Iraq's record, Friedman claims that replacement of the Saddam regime with a successful government would give an example of the available alternatives to extremism. Painting with too broad a brush amplifies already inflammatory situation. fred
