I think we as a country have to seriously consider not supporting any government that persecutes people for their beliefs. For everyday they persist in this maddening persecution, we should reduce by half our financial support of the government. If it fails, then so be it. We have proved that we can keep the terrorists busy and on the run. But proping up this type of government, in some kind of politically correct effort at not offending one religion while another is persecuted is not American.
