In due time I will answer most of your questions, but it is too late tonight.

You wonder why I single out Islam?  Are you blind and deaf?

A few things...I didn't say that we should be defending Saudi or Yemen, I was talking about Europe.  And besides, just because the terrorists came from those countries that doesn't make them state sponsored terrorists.  The evidence that Iran is sponsoring them, however, is strong.

You can't say that DHS has not foiled any terror plots any more than I can say they did.  Compare it to a railroad crossing warning light and bell.  It is there, but you don't know how many car-train collisions it avoids.

I have a miltary background and look at foreign policy in very simplistic terms.  Negotiate from strength.  A nation's power is useless unless that nation is willing to use it.  Our national interest sometimes requires us to do uncomfortable things.  Backing down from a tinhorn dictator will gain us the reputation as a coward nation and embolden those who heretofore didn't try anything becase they knew we would kick the chit out of them.   

Go ahead and live in your altruistic world while the rest of us try to ensure you aren't forced to bow to the east and "pray" multiple times per day.

That's all for tonight.  I may or may not take it up again in the morning, because it is obvious you will never understand how the cow eats the cabbage.
