Sun Tzu, re >so instead of images of candle vigils in Iran, you saw footage of dancing Palestinians in the streets< Actually as a Fox watcher I saw both. And I also saw Saudis and Egyptians and Indonesians and Pakistanis and Afghanis and Morroccans and Libyans and Jordanians and Syrians and Lebonese and etc. celebrating the deaths of 3000. This proves Dan's point that some do indeed hate and wish to kill us. To ignore them, as you seem to propose, because some, even most of their neighbors and coreligionists disagree with them is... well... suicidal. You seem to be saying that the victim is responsible for the crime... They want to kill us, it must be something we did (like treating woman and non-believers as human). We better cut that out, eh?

I firmly believe you meant to write that post to Jacob Snyder. I could be wrong, but what you've stated concerning Muslims who hate the extremists for what they've done to the reputation of the religion, is in fact in agreement with my thoughts. Some folks here wish to blame America first, and ignore the masses of Muslims in Iran, for instance, who were cheering Bush's recent victory in the streets, in hopes that he will free them from the oppression they live with today. I am not forgetting the candle vigils held in Iran, and I am certain you won't find my words ignore the Muslims who despise the radical terrorists. Again, you either intended to post that to Jacob Snyder(which would seem appropriate, if you ask me), or you misunderstood me. Dan B.
