There you go, John. Once again Friedman puts his finger on what REALLY is happening in the Middle East and with Muslim culture. So tejek, the real story isn't that the US is the sole reason why things are going poorly in the Middle East. The Muslims in that region also bear some of the responsibility. One thing I like about Bush's vision is that he has openly acknowledged that we should no longer prop up dictators and has called for a policy shift to push Democracy. The vision is good, but once again he fails in its implementation. So when Hamas came to power, he had an opportunity to extend an olive branch and say that we would work with Hamas to unify the security infrastructure of the Palestinians under one authority in preparation for the creation of a Palestinian army and state. Instead, we called on them to disarm, which is tantamount to a rejection of their elected right to an army and a provocation to Muslims who now see us as hipocrits. Way to go George.

"But there is something in the worldwide Muslim reaction to these cartoons that is excessive, and suggests that something else is at work in this story. It's time we talked about it" I wonder why Friedman saw nothing "excessive" in the worldwide Jewish reaction to Mel Gibson's Passion of Christ? Mel's movie was, for the most part, a simple reflection of the Gospel story and accurately represented the Passion of Christ. So why the hysterical worldwide Jewish reaction? The whining from the Jewish gallery was obnoxious, repugnant and an insult to the majority of Christian throughout the world. This "suggests that something else is at work in this story" about hysterical Jewish protest against Mel's Passion of Christ. We all know, of course, what that something else was. Jews hate an historically accurate cinematic presentation of the Gospel because they oppose and reject the Gospel. Jews prefer to distort history and the Gospel accounts with Jewish production such as THE PASSOVER PLOT or the LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST. No whinning and no hysterics when Hollywood Jews distort the historical and Gospel record. It was only when the true story of the Gospel is presented that that Jewish communities throughout the world begin a nasty jewish jihad to censor Mel's artistic presentation. The ugliness of the Jewish reaction to the Mel's Passion might have given the Moslem community ideas.
