I never said whether I thought it was a serious threat or not.  Don't put words 
in my mouth.  I simply refuted your assertion that it's an either - or 
situation.  I do think that Bush's war in Iraq is seriously increasing the 
threat, and if you think the threat is a serious one, then you should certainly 
be opposing this war.  From my perspective failure to do so is giving aid to 
the enemy, tantamount to treason.  Are you treasonous, Lawrence? 


>>Hast thou not heard of David Horowitz?<<

Who hasn't heard of Horowitz? Who cares what Horowitz has to say?


Reading your list of dislikes about America would lead one to believe that 
you're a conservative.  Are you a conservative, Lawrence?


>>As to your references to "brutal, vicious, violent culture," I would ask 
>>"compared to what?"<<


Why would you ask that?  I wasn't making a comparison to any other country, I 
merely accused our country of being brutal, vicious and violent and I don't 
like that about America.  


>>Some Europeans are learning that the Islamists have a patent on "brutal, 
>>vicious and violent."<<


The US is responsible for the deaths of between 150,000 to 600,000 Iraqis 
because Bush wanted a base in the Middle East.  Tell me who has a patent on 
brutal, vicious and violent.
