Frank,

Thanks for your rationale and thought out response. To a degree I admit that Bush is not the answer, but the sad part of it is, no one else on the horizon is either.

The other part of it is that I feel that the Moslem hate of all things Jewish is unfortunately not going to ever go away. The Moslem world in the middle east sorely lags in education (any famous universities in Syria?), civilized industry (name three well known products outside of oil that come out of any middle-eastern Arab country), and visible leaders who really speak out for peace.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise in America. As I mentioned way earlier, the talk in the Jewish community is this is in part because of an anti-Israel position by the extreme left-wing.
