I'm grateful that most of you in this thread aren't running foreign policy.
We don't want this to turn into world war III, and giving even the slightest hint that this is a war on Islam will bring us into that. Let's not give Bin Laden and his yahoos any ammunition with which to rally the Islamic states around. This is not a sign of weakness, but of respect for the religion. This isn't over by a long shot, but we will have to make concessions to keep the other Islamic nations at bay. Make no mistake though, we will exact our pound of flesh.
God Bless Texas
