These days, most people have forgotten those fears and we freely trade with and vacation in those countries. I wonder if we can ever look back on the chaos of the early 21st century from a place of futuristic peace with the Muslims.Irving1923https://www.blogger.com/profile/17452718515382871898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3924286896369249761.post-53695709284960966702010-09-22T10:35:17.377-07:002010-09-22T10:35:17.377-07:00Gasper - The video clip of the interview on the C...Gasper - The video clip of the interview on the CBS website didn't include the portion that was shown on television.<br />On the CBS website there is, however, the trancscript of the televised portion, and that is what I posted.

For nine years, as our country falls apart, we just hear about Muslims this and Muslims that. What about what our own incompetent government officials are doing?

Unbelievable. Let's call our interventions what they are...protection of American interests in oil and other money making vehicles. Our actions have apparently not done much for the actual people, namely women, in these societies.

I have many Muslim friends who do not endorse, nor participate in acts of violence. Sometimes, in our egocentric view of the world, we fail to consider that regular, every day people of any faith just want to keep their families safe, fed, and sheltered. If the leaders want to fight, let them fight amongst themselves and leave the laypeople alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269606449889984714noreply@blogger.com
