re: Let's stop with the one-liners and get to the truth of the matter. 95%(?) of all terrorist murders over the past year were done by muslims.....not every muslim is a terrorist, but nearly every terrorist is a muslim. This is a fact, unless you prefer sticking your head in the sand. If you exclude Israel and Iraq, nearly the same percentage was done by al Qaeda, or affiliates. This is not a war on terrorism and certainly not a war on Muslims. It's a (very unsuccessful) war on al Qaeda. Zero tolerance of terrorism will never work, just as it won't work on crime or drugs. To make zero tolerance work, we would have to become a police state. John

Brian, RE: "not every muslim is a terrorist" This was the point I was making. On this point, we are in agreement. RE: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with......" True. But the interim could be a step back. On a related note, my comment originates from some sadness with seeing a couple countries that had pretty good women leadership at the top, get negatively impacted by capitalism where a country tends to get ruled by the middle, not necessarily by the ones that want women to have the rights. Which makes me sad to see this. RE: "democratic government, which is a mystery to me" Education of the masses is the key. Regards, Amy J
