I will say that I fear <i>some</i> people are are quick to dismiss dumb ignorant Christians for being believers in this day and age, while at the same time giving a pass on Islam- out of fear of being seen as unPC. It doesn't help when this <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-412614/Charles-wants-multi-faith-coronation-service.html" rel="nofollow">tourist attraction (Prince Charles)</a> declares he wants to be a 'defender <b>of </b>faith' not the defender <b>of the</b> faith. That's throwing out a lot of history, which isn't something, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews or anyone else has <i>asked</i> the govt/monarch to do.<br><br>Having said all that, the premise of your comment, and/or the efficacy of American unilateralism fighting the GWOT alone or w/ "tough talk" is a logical as well as actual failure. Anyone paying attention to the fiasco in Iraq would know that.</I>dilettanteMon, 21 Jul 2008 15:29:56 -0000
