My original post was from a Saudi newspaper which talked about the beheading and the question by moderate Islam followers what benefit it brought to them. They are not questioning the radicals because of US policy is it? Is you think so, then you are way off. The US bullets started flying in 2002 and we did not hear the moderates speak out then, did we? Why now if not then. Why now when Bush is down and out and begging the UN to go with him, changing the US resolution several times to placate the Germans and French so as to get a unanimous SC vote? That is not what you call US winning the war on terrorism is it? So the conclusion from all this is that when the US was trigger happy in late 2002 and 2003, the moderates did not speak up against their radical Muslim followers. Now they do so since Bush is finished and is hotly moving out of Iraq. If he remained in Iraq and continued to police Iraq, the moderates would not have thought it to be an opportune moment to speak up. But now they are speaking up with Bush on the retreat.
