#1 instead of becoming rangers--why don't these guys start a group "moderate muslims for reform"--or are they afraid they'll be offed by the jihadis

#2 Trolls, dingbats, and antiwar are reminded that Businesses provide JOBS, not trees.

#3 As the approval rate for President Bush fell from the highly inflated 83 percent post-Bloody Tuesday to the more recent 38 percent, how precisely did his views on the Palestinians' terror war against Israelis change? It did not. Zogby is horribly compromised and tainted. His is no longer a reliable polling outfit.

#5 ya gotta luv the NYT.

Story: Muslim Americans back Bush

Problem: Muslims are supposed to feel intimidated by the war's backlash.

NYT Solution: Put the word "wealthy" in front of Muslims and thereby dismiss them as the evil rich.

NYT Story: Teresa Heinz-Kerry money is being used to allow Kerry to circumvent campaign finance restrictions.

NYT Problem: Kerry is a member of the "evil rich".

NYT Solution: ...they're working on it.

#6 I work with several Iranian engineers, and they pretty much support Bush as they feel his policies most likely will lead to an overthrow of the Mullahs. Kerry may have sealed that deal with his email to Mehrnews

#8 Sure the NYT threw in their slant(s), but I still loved this story--it proved that not all Muslims are insane jihadis and that they actually appreciate what we're doing (via the Bush Doctrine) in the Middle East!
Let these Muslims lead their brethren both here and in their homelands into moderation, democracy and capitalism.
And may peace be upon them.
They sound like fine U.S. citizens!
