Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "We need that Islamic epiphany that causes moderate muslims to take sides, if only to defend themselves."

This is wishful thinking in the extreme, LOL. It's a pretty good indication of how Bush got into such trouble.

The problem with moderates is that they don't want to fight. They just want to quietly live out their lives. They don't want to pick sides. When you say "with us or against us", the moderates just ignore you.

Our problem in Iraq is that our allies do not want to fight.

WHERE ARE THE THOUSANDS OF MARCHING IRAQIS, DEMANDING THAT WE PROVIDE THEM WEAPONS SO THAT THEY CAN KICK THE BAATHISTS AND TERRORISTS OUT OF THEIR COUNTRY?
