Maybe there really are civilized people there. Never sell short the power of democracy. Remember, most of the powers that be in 1776 never thought a country of "uncivilized" frontiersman could ever make it last.

This gives me faith in discussions I have had in the past with my oldest daughter, USMC. After 9/11 i was ranting and raving and the crazy wacko, etc. etc. and some time later when I finally heard from her - I had no idea where she was - other than she was doing her job. She said 'Dad - there are crazy Christians too - you know that ' I said,'well those Christians arent doing this kind of stuff'. She said, 'Dad, the guy who is running the (some tech description of a weapon - which meant big-ass machine gun) on my vehicle over my right shoulder - is moslem. He covers me and has had my back for a long time on this border. The guy driving the vehicle in the next area - is moslem - they are salt of the earth - the good ones, are quiet, they pray , they love our country, and they are damn good people and I trust them with my life. ' I trust my daughter's judgement and I was very glad to see this headline.
