New At least he identified the enemy...
That particular sect of the Muslim religion hell bent on killing Christians, Jews, and Americans.

I just hope we can manage to keep Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Uzbeckistan, Sudan, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Egypt out of the fight. I'm sure I missed a dozen other countries, too... (Turkey, Muslim parts of Africa, Pakistan)

New Are you suggesting all these countries ...
... are our enemies?

I thought we were fighting terrorism, not nations?
Almost all these nations have expressed condolences and condemned these murderous attacks.

Please explain your position.

New I certainly hope not!
However, the Taliban in Afghanistan will make this out to be a "Holy War" for the "Brotherhood of Islam". The term jihad sure seems to be thrown out a lot.

I don't know how many governments will join us as opposed to attacking us. I certainly think that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait would be on our side. But a lot of Middle Eastern countries really don't like us.

New This is what the terrorists hoped for: Jihad
(as sick as that sounds)

But that is not what is happening.
It turns out that it is uniting Muslem and Arab countries together with the rest of the world in saying they have had enough.

Does anyone disagree with this interpretation?

Let the debate begin.

I bellied up to the sandbar, and he poured me the usual: Rusty Snail, hold the grunion, shaken, not stirred. With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side - heavy on the mako.
