The Fifteenth September 11
America began that autumn day in a state of innocence.
The man in the street knew next to nothing about the Middle East or Islam, subjects about which he since learned a great deal (both the good and the bad). The average commuter took for granted the idea that governments would loyally represent their population. He has since discovered the extent to which that is and is not true. Citizens bought the papers and thought they told them something. Now they understand the limits of that. And the public did not know its own heart. It has since searched its corners, both and good and evil. | Richard Fernandez, Belmont

Your Say
Actually, the man in the street still knows next to nothing about the neareast/mideast or mohammedism.

Tell me one thing....just one thing....that is good about islam.
And, I'll never, ever, ever concede that there is such a thing as a good muslim and without being partial, I hate every last one of those GD SOBs equally.

I'll second that, Jack.
And, we all must hate them, in the Biblical sense, of course.
