Religious wars are for small minds. I agree.. But we didn't start this war with Al Qaida or these Muslim Militants. But we'd better damn well finish it (or limit their capabilities) or you and I are going to be praying to Mecca 5 times a day.. Either that or we're going to be seeing a lot of innocent people dying at the their hand. Btw, ever heard of the "Thugs" (Thugees) of India? I strongly suggest you read about them. damninteresting.com freerepublic.com Present day Muslim Militants, while not exactly a "cult of sacrifice" in the manner of the Thugs, are perfectly willing to martyr themselves to advance and defend their beliefs. They are a totalitarian theology that demands that unbelievers be converted or eliminated. And please recall.. The Thugs were roaming around India only a mere 200 years ago. They killed at least 40,000 people during the period the British were actually even aware of them. That's not "small mind" thinking. Hawk
