I hope you were able to get my reply. If not let me know and I will be happy to re-do it. THANKS AGAIN, it is very appreciated.

I appreciate your response. I know sometimes I speak from what I see and heard but not always as factual as the information should be. I have never been to the middle east and have no desire to ever be in any part of it. I bow to your obviously more aware of what is going on. My son-in-law and daughter were deployed there once in the 90's and then in 2008 but they do not express views one way or another and I understand that. THANK YOU for your valid and very informational reply. I appreciate it very much.

Response to the Presidents inspirational address to the Muslim world. Iran stated they did not hear anything new. Most of the Muslim countries have expressed serious doubts about changes. They have their agenda, as long as the U.S. and its few allies do not accept that and begin to deal with what is rather than what some hope could be the safer and better off we all would be. President Obama pledged to support governments that protect the rights of people to speak their minds and have a say in how they are governed, that respect the rule of law and the equal administration of justice, that are transparent and don't steal from the people. How about starting that in the U.S. before telling the world how to think etc. We are stepping very close to a slippery slope that our enemies are doing and saying whatever will start us down even more than we currently are.

Why do the "experts" continue to ignore the ONE basic fact of the Muslim Religion and that is: INFIDELS SHOULD DIE. Remember those demostrations in London and the signs that were displayed. INFIDEL: Anyone, that does not live and worship and follow the dictates of the lawmakers of the Muslim Religion. Not much room there for peace. They will use our own system to try and destroy it. So far they have been gaining an edge here. So many complain about how terrible our system is - let them visit the Muslim- controlled countries -
