"I still think the people are glad to see Jews killed."

IF the islamists are not stopped in our time, the above will become true and you can include christians in the text. Today was another bad day for american servicemen and women. We must win this thing and our administration(at least some) should never become cocky or inflexible in thought as they appparently became after the conclusion of the war. It might be time for a few resignations(voluntary or otherwise) and infusion of new blood into this admin.
And to gain national consensus I would recommend the selection of a new VP candidate with more moderate credentials. Maybe even a guy like McCain would accept this role which would give him frontrunner status in 08. As a political junkie I would salivate over a McCain vs Hillary campaign in 2008. mike

The other 1 billion, 350 million are peace loving people.

Who have one quirk. They hate Jews.

Unclewest, no wonder the USA is having a hard time in Iraq, you've miscalculated. You need 10x as many troops.

<There are 1.5 billion Muslims on earth.
10% or 150 million are militant.
10% of them or 1.5 million are extremists.

The other 1 billion, 350 million are peace loving people.

10% of the 150 million militants would be 15 million, not 1.5 million.

150,000 USA troops can perhaps manage 10x as many extremists, but probably not 15 million. So gear up and bring on 1.5 million troops.

Or, perhaps easier than that, recalculate the numbers so there are only 10,000 extremists, and revamp the United Nations into a real thing, a New United Nations.
