So you're afraid of Islamic empire?
"The islamic empire was 3 times bigger than the roman empire, that's HUGE."

Those romans had pointy sticks too, and some of them were over 4 feet tall, scary. happy

My view is simple. There is *no* serious military threat to the west, there is only a terror threat, and hence this: "they just want to end your life" is not going to happen.

As for the terror threat, terrorists only succeed if they induce fear & terror. And politicians that try to play on that fear, are not at war with terrorists, they're dancing with them.

This is why I think Bush is being dishonest when he exaggerates the terror threat to try to scare voters into voting for his party.
