The spin or distinction your putting on this gets closer to the point. Their society is at least as diverse and complex than our own and their knowledge of us come more from idle talk than any real knowledge of the way we live. They’ve got country people that to this day don’t appreciate what’s going on. They see more military activity than before, and know we’re there – end of data. The city people were for the most part the ones advanced by Saddam’s regime. The lack of what we think of as education, and a true understanding of the world is not common over there. They hear rumor and BS, but now their knowledge of us comes from what they actually see now. I'm sure that the end we seek is common to us all, but we must be sensitive to their culture regarding the means we employ or there may be no end. The violent expansion of Islam under the sword is not a majority view of modern Muslims. If the means we employ are offensive to all Muslims the terrorist camp will gain strength. We must take a step back and learn who and what it is we’re fighting.
They need to stop the race I’m watching and sweep the track or it’s going to get worse. We need to do the same with this “War on Terror” and employ some Muslim think tankers who want peace.
