"Could you please explain how on the one hand you agree that we are at war" Of course we are at war, our soldiers are dying on a daily basis, how could we not be at war? "I assume you mean against radical islam" You assume to much, that is not what I mean by a long shot. "and on the other hand you suggest we do not fight to defend ourselves in other words give in to the enemy radical islam" We are not fighting to defend ourselves (I didn't see any armed Iraqis roaming the streets on our way to work) and you are presuming that radical islam is our enemy. "They want you dead....unless of course you belong to islam" I see no evidence to support that. "I disagree....you can speak out against the enemy whenever you have the chance. That is all many of us can do as some of us are to old to fight physically." I agree, that is why I am posting to this board. "When enough of the civilized world understand what is going on we will get the support we need to defeat islam terror." When enough of the civilized world understand what is going on they will likely nuke us. "So IMO you can do something....speak out against radical islam....If you can get even one person to understand what the problem really is you have done a great job to help keep the freedoms we now enjoy." Again, you are presuming the enemy is radical islam. I am trying to help one person understand what the probelm really is, but I am having a hard time getting through to him.
