According to my kids, I am somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan. The license plate on my SUV is 'Attilla'. OK, it's a Hyundai, so that joke, too.

I try not to avoid debates like this, as seeing either end of the political spectrum gives me the shakes. And I'm equally afraid of Christian and Islamic Fundamentalists, God protect us from his followers.

IMHO this was not a political statement, but more 'Stockholm Syndrome' on a societal level. We are being held hostage by terrorism. I believe we have a better chance uf stopping it if we understand it. Example: Islam looks at the cross the way Blacks see the stars and bars and Jews see the swastica.

Islam is still pissed at 'us' for the Crusades. They take our Red Cross aid to survive, but at least some marketing genius figured out using the Red Crescent was better packaging.

95% of the worlds people just want to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads. Even as a conservative, it's hard for me to figure out how killing people really helps.
