<br>
My response to a note like this is that I believe one should never reduce a
nation or a religion to a single thought. It would be a bit like extending and attributing
the views or lifestyles of a small group of Americans to our entire country.
Like all Americans are homosexual, or we all spend winters in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:State>, or we all love George Bush, or we
all eat only organic food. The world, the countries, and the people in them are
more complex and interesting than that. There is a great deal of suffering
going on at this time in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>. Some
of it can be traced to us and some cannot. I am not sure how to solve any of
the issues there, but I do believe that name calling doesn’t help (here
or there).<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

mere existence as a nation rose from reaction.) It’s just too bad
that they are the only ones in the area that want peace, but are forced to
react to the actions of Muhammad the war monger worshippers in dirty night
sheets. If they (<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><u1:country-region u2:st="on"><u1:place u2:st="on">Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region></u1:place></u1:country-region>)

supports terrorists (and they are off to a great start)…a huge parking

to continue to allow their dignity and sovereignty to erode. Why must we fail
to acknowledge the common thread in every battle in that area? Islam epitomizes
evil. Simply a small thrust into the Koran will reveal this axiom. Eradicate
Islam (or, at least the fundamentalists), it’s the only path the peace in
the area…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
