Why do Bushies only post negative stories about Muslims? You are the guys who say the press should only report positive stories about the war, but you guys are trying to throw gasoline on the fire. Why? Do you like war, death and deficit spending? Name one drawn-out occupation type war we have ever had which has ended well. Are you merely pimping for Halliburton types who profit off these wars?

Yes, there are some evil Muslims extremists, and we have been battling them for 30 years. But evil is not limited to those religious extremists. Read yourt history. We've have some pretty evil extremist Christians too.

One more thing, time for Bush to quit saying we're "at war". Yes we're winding down a war in Iraq, but we have been fighting terrorists since the 70's. It's nothing new. and it doesn't mean we have to give up our civil liberties or let crooks control our government and fix our elections.

This shows your concoluted thinking. This is a social issue. It has nothing to do with terrorists or Islam. There are similar issues in African societies.

And there are social issues in the US society which is frowned about by other cultures such as infidelity, the high rates of divorces where two adults break up a family without any disregard for the mental well being f the children, alcoholism in a rich society such as the US etc. etc.

So I wouldn't get into social issues and try to bend them to behave like us. Doing so would be Hitlerian since HItler marched into other countries and wanted the vanquished to be part of the "Aryan" culture.
