You know, someone could do the same thing with images of Vietnam, Hiroshima, Abu Gharib and hidden torture facilities in Poland, spliced with clips of Bush's speeches, McCains campaign rantings etc. and in the end the United States would appear to be the biggest evil that exists in the world.
Oh wait!! Militant Islam already does this! You talk about tainted messengers and extol the work of a man who's every publication and campaign has been firmly set against Islam, without any semblance or pretense of objectivity. So, the answer to that is to use the same inane propaganda tools? It's horrible what is occuring in the Netherlands, and it has to be stopped. I still believe that there are things that governments can do to reach out to these cultures, and where you cannot reach out then prosecute according to the law in a pro-active manner. No prime minister should fear expression of free speech to such an extent that he thinks it would endanger his country, especially not one that truly embodies liberty, Freedom and openness like the Netherlands. It's a shame. But the utter and abject stupidity inherent in responses such as Nuke Tehran, Kill them all is that if one feels that moderate Muslims are the solution to the problem, then alienating them, demonising the whole of Islam and calling for the eradication of an entire culture assures that there will never be a solution. When will mankind learn? How many crises and historical failures must there be before mankind in general reacts with anything more than primitive instincts???

There's nothing we can do about it in the end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:257530 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
