Nothing in the constitutions of Western states requires them to get involved in every foreign conflict.

Israelis must be encouraged to defeat the Palestinians.

So, this is my plea to all Western editors and producers: Display the Muhammad cartoon daily, until the Islamists become accustomed to the fact that we turn sacred cows into hamburger.

Diplomacy in general does not resolve conflicts. Wars end not due to peace processes, but due to one side giving up.

All immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most.

To me, every fundamentalist Muslim, no matter how peaceable in his own behavior, is part of a murderous movement and is thus, in some fashion, a foot soldier in the war that bin Laden has launched against civilization.

You can't just read the Koran to understand Muslim life. You have to look at history, at personalities, at economics, and so on.
