Good people, just wanting to get along
Admirable, however there are many, many bad people who not only don't want to get along, but want to kill the people who do.
So let's celebrate the ones who do, but it is idiotic to put any faith in them as the answer to the threat of those who want to destroy us, and have proven they have the will and means to attempt to achieve their goal.
I wouldn't have such a problem with the so-called anti-war left if they didn't allow their progressive ideology and partisan stereotyping to so influence their pacificism. Likewise, their sense of tolerance.
Someone who promises to burn a Koran shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with someone who kills someone because of their twisted interpretation of the Koran.
This is the post-modern, self-loathing, and childish nonsense that insists: "We're not so great!" "We have our religious extremists too!"
