chinu. You said...." Those damn neocons have been shouting from roof tops that Saddam tortured his people. Now we have amongst our midst who do the same when they have the opportunity. So we need to shut up and not show up in front of the world. We do not need to police the world and be a preacher to the world. ".... Perhaps you need to be reminded what you said to me many times when I said islam is a world problem. You have said in your defense of islam that islam is not to be blamed for what islam terrorist do. Yet at the first opportunity you imply the same principal to America that you accused myself and others as anti islam. May I suggest to you that America as a country is not responsible for what a few crazies do. After all this is the principal you used in your defense of islam.? You see the really big difference here is that those Americans that have broken American laws will be brought to justice. Not so for islam terrorists they are looked upon as hero's by many in the world of islam.

Chinu. You said....." But what is the use. Those people have already been harmed, some have even died. Can you bring them back?"...... Lets apply this statement of yours to 9/11..... Should President Bush have said....." But what is the use."....?

what is the use? Excuse me but that is silly. Don't you know that punishing wrongdoing will deter future wrong doing? But perhaps you'd like to see more wrong doing to use for propaganda. Those damn neocons have been shouting from roof tops that Saddam tortured his people. They were right. Good for anyone who opposed Saddam's torture. Now we have amongst our midst who do the same when they have the opportunity.. And we'll punish them and put a stop to it. That's the right thing to do. It is foolish to demand perfection for our side and say we can't oppose anything evil unless everyone on our side is spotless. Would you say we shouldn't oppose the Nazi Holocaust for example, because in our own country racial minorities didn't have equal rights at the time?
