troll,

There are some Muslim countries who want very much to be able to help us. But the governments of these countries who are sympathetic to us still have to contend with different factions within their own countries. They have said that Bush's use of terms such as 'dead or alive' has the potential to cause instability in their countries, making it more difficult for them to be able to help us.

We need all the help we can get right now. I think it is those of us in the US who would most benefit from choosing our words carefully.
