#2 Is this going to be the new US Foreign Aid program? "We'll pay you $$$ for so-and-so, who we suspect of terrorism". I can see this creating a massive influx of "foreign terrorists" "wanted" by the United States, if we're not careful. Just round up a dozen or so street criminals, announce they are members of Al-Qaeda, and ask Uncle Sugar for a $million apiece for them.

I have a better approach: "Turn over all your jihadi monkeyboys to us today, and we won't bomb your capital into stone-age rubble".

#4 Well I agree with one thing which the article seems to imply, and that is that Democracy is BUNK! Of course it is much better than what currently passes for government in the Muslim world, but that is not saying very much.

One man (or woman), one vote? Yeah right. That is just the right prescription for the bolsheviks to gain the upper hand, which they have in most democratic countries (the jury is still out on the US). Once the bolsheviks grab the reigns of power throught the various institutions of democratic nations, then they inevitably impose socialism on the rest.
Why should the weak and feeble-minded be allowed to impose confiscatory legislation on the strong and enterprising just because they outnumber them? Do the mice on the Serengetti plains of Africa impose their will on the lions?
