Recent Political Change May Positively Affect GA

There are only a handful of Muslim terrorists in the world, and they
don't represent a sovereign state, so they cannot formally declare
war.

Your ability to completely and utterly miss a point is astounding.

On this, I think Mxsmanic's point is right on target. "The whole Muslim
terrorist world..." can most likely be counted in the thousands, and they
don't represent (nor are they represented by) a sovereign state. Of
course, now there are a lot of "normal Muslims" that are rather ticked off
at the inept manner in which we are dealing with those few terrorists, and
that doesn't help matters any.

There are 1.5 BILLION Muslims on the planet. If only 1/10
of 1% are violent terrorists, it is still 1 million, 500
thousand. Surveys have put the number as high as 10-25% of
the Muslims supporting the terrorists.

The figure is probably closer to one in a million. There are only a
few thousand Muslim terrorists in the world.

the Muslims supporting the terrorists.

Support comes in many forms; simply being sympathetic to the cause of
a terrorist is not the same as being a terrorist.

There is no basis for thinking that "1/10 of 1% of the world's Muslim
population are violent terrorists", if one considers that by far the
largest portion of the world's Muslims are not in the Middle East or from
countries that are in conflict with the US. This kind of generalization is
counter-productive to the effort to deal with those people that are
terrorists, Muslim or otherwise.

Really. In places, large percentages of the "street" rolls
out waving flags and burning cars after any terrorists
attack. No Muslim nation actually sends troops to fight
terrorists. The terrorists get supplies from within many
Muslim nations and little or nothing is done to stop that
trade.

You tell me the number, I'd say that they have more than
enough terrorists to bomb every high value target, value
being not the military or industrial value, but the
psychological value, schools, bus stops, movie theaters,
national monuments and even a small town just so everybody
knows there is no safe place, that is what terror is and how
it works.

Bush's error was being too good at stopping attacks on the
USA, the people lost their fear and forgot that we are at
war and the front line is your backyard.
