I think this is a well thought out intelligently supported post. And I agree, there are a lot of problems in our own country to be solved. Emmalee3, you're talking semantics (I,I,I...) the post is about what fears and problems many people have in this country. Getting caught up in how it is stated is a convenient deterrent.
It's interesting how our current government is expecting Iraq to comply with their ideas of what Iraq's government should be when indeed the different cultures there should be respected but aren't - and the proponents of this practice (as you see from some of the posts below) are making abominable assumptions such as "hinesbrad must be gay", Obama's middle name "Hussein" must mean something is awry with him and all "Muslims" have it in for us. Come on! Educating oneself opens up the mind and apparently there are a lot of closed minds around here.
