If there's another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country.

Bush promised a foreign policy of humility and a domestic policy of compassion. He has given us a foreign policy of arrogance and a domestic policy that is cynical, myopic and cruel.
Reasonable, even intelligent people can, and frequently do, disagree on how best to achieve peace in the Middle East, but, peace must be the goal of our foreign policy tools, whether they be by the stick or by the carrot.

Middle East peace
Middle East peace
incidentally, how many Muslim countries are there
and compare that in size to Israel.
if peace is peace, then it's peace and not a farce of hurting Israel.
for there to be peace (whatever that is)
then the cruel Muslims must recognize that they have no connection to Ishmael
the cruel Koran turns Abraham the Jew into a Muslim.
in the Koran Jesus is a Muslim also
when will Islam apologize?
so.............when will there be peace
Already, China has undermined U.S. foreign policy in efforts to gain access to oil resources in Iran and Sudan. We simply cannot separate the political and economic values of oil.
