With all hell breaking loose in the Middle East, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice flew in to help end the violence. Why am I not confident? Wasn't she the one who missed the Bin Laden determined to attack memo?
The sad truth is, the Lebanese government did not not get rid of Hezbollah and allowed these lawless terrorists to flourish. The Palestinians elected the blood-thirsty Hamas. They comically claim to be "resistance" fighters, but all they have ever resisted is peace. Have they recognized Israel's right to exist yet? Have they denounced terrorism? Let's face it, they recently got land from Israel and then launched a war from this new territory. Clearly, their aim is to be in a state of war, not create a functioning Palestinian state.
When you support or vote for Jihad, which the citizens of this region did, this war is what it looks like in practice. It is a lot more fun to talk holy war in a tea house than to actually be in a real one. Perhaps, the Palestinians will be a little wiser the next time they go into the voting booth. When you elect terrorists who promise war and the destruction of a neighboring country - and then they work to carry out their promise - you lose your credibility and right to complain about the disastrous results.
The lesson here: Elect moderate leaders who care about peace and prosperity, instead of ideological extremists who promise death and destruction. The same lesson should not be lost on Americans who voted their fears in 2004, instead of their dreams, and left America with a nightmare foreign policy than has created a more dangerous world.

The Bush presidency has been a disaster, and he was elected largely due to the votes of anti-science religious zealots. The worst two presidents in recent memory have been Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, both born again Christians.
Perhaps the American people should wake up to the fact that we must elect leaders who plan to govern within the mindset of actual reality, and not within a world of mythology.

With the recent events, I am beginning to feel a sea change within the LGBT community, instead of compassion and understanding towards Islam, we are waking up to the dangers at our doors. I, along with many, realize how our lives would look if this faith ever became dominant. We have all struggled so long and hard for the rights we now enjoy, let us continue to see danger where ever it might show it's ugly face. Always choose truth over ideology.
