God forbid that these people show so much ignorance about other cultures and Faiths. There was one great British WW2 Leader, Winston Churchill who stated that it is better to... "Jaw, Jaw, than War War!" The onlyw ay America can claime the 'Moral High Ground' is to do what is right. Bombing the 'cr@p' out of Middle Eastern countries is NO way to win 'Hearts and Minds', which Mr Bush and co keep telling us all. Yes...

The bombing scenario is already on the books in Washington as an option among many, its just worded a little differently. But as usual the media will use this issue against Tancredo to deter from his illegal immigration stance. But guess what, Iowa is not listening to the squawk and rant of the liberal media.
