200k terrorists? Just go on repeating it again and again...and again. Until people start believing it (only takes a few lines of print in a newspaper). Liberal logic at work. Taro

I don't know where you get a number like 200K. Iran has a suicide bomber recruitment campaign that places the figure in Iran alone at 30K volunteers. Then some people say there are thousands more in Iraq. Expand that to all other muslim countries and the rest of the world and you could get alot more than 200K. Then you expand that to include all the ideologues, logistics support personnel, financiers, and strategists, and you get many thousands more. Then you expand that to all the people who support and praise their actions and you expand it to a majority of Muslims (50%+). So needless to say, I think your number way understimates the problem of suicide bombers in Muslim society. Would 1.3 billion be a better number for you? And what are Muslims doing about it? Making high minded speeches about solidarity with the victims of suicide bombers in English to the West and praising the suicide bombers and their families as great heros as they speak in Arabic to the Middle East. What are you doing about the gang problem in American cities?What are you doing about American schools that are falling further and further behind other countries? What are you doing about the growing federal deficit? Of course, I am being sarcastic but Muslims do work, have jobs, have lives that take up a lot of their time. They just don't have it in them to go fight insurgents at the end of a typical work day........just like you don't have it in you to fight gangs and work on the federal deficit. And I do think some Muslims are ambivalent about Muslim terrorists. On the one hand, they see terrorists as bad but on the other hand, they are resisting America and the UK. Its a bad mess that is getting worse.
