He answered that Islam was founded on the laws of their prophet Muhammad; it was written in their Quran that all nations that do not recognize Islamic authority were sinners; that it was Muslims right and duty to make war upon sinners and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners and that every Muslim slain in battle would go to paradise. In 1800 America paid 20 percent of government revenues in tribute and ransom for American sailor hostages and enslaved prisoners. This had existed for ten centuries in the Meditrranean and African coastlines. Jerrerson became President in 1801 and in 1805 he deployed Americans best warships to the Muslim Barbary Coast and the USA Marines marched from Egypt to Tripolatania, defeating the Islamists and releasing Amerian prisones. This is commeorated in the Marine hymn"from theshores of Monetezuma to the shores of Tripoli we will fight our countries battles on the land as on the sea" Taken from US Veteran Dispatch, Jan.2007 In 1786 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams asked amassador Adja of Algiers why Islamists hated America.

JG book is for him, looking in the cracked mirror. It is him, alright, he just won't admit it is him. All he feels is shame and the shame overwhelms anything he sees or feels. He is lost and needs our prayers. Mohammad

I’m beginning, for the record, to like this Roger Cohen. Is he really Jewish? I think AIPAC and the Israeli machinery should trash this guy NOW! This guy is truly a new fresh air of ideas that has been and still absent in resolving Israel’s issues. Now that Iran is heading to hopefully get rid of its wacky president, we will face a new leadership in Israel that is coming from the same DNA as Ahmadinejad. Roger Cohen: You are a bad boy! Soon you’ll be called “Al Roger Cohen”, as Dr. Ledeen calls Al Reuter…LOL. Here is his new article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/opinion/09iht-edcohen.html?_r=1 Wow!

He is right in engaging Iran. We don't care if they have nuclear weapons. Sure they say they want to bomb us but they won't. This we all know, because We should try to get along with everyone. If we were a great nation, we would!!!! I am what you would call a “leftist” though I am not and I agree with Mr. Obama on every single little thing.

The terrorist has sex with the character played by Annette Bening, not exactly torture Abu Ghraib style. The bad guy is a General played by Bruce Willis who turns parts of Brooklyn into a Warsaw type ghetto for Arab Americans. The terrorist while not seen as a hero is portrayed with concern on the part of the makers of the movie. I felt too much empathy was bestowed upon the terrorist and typical Hollywood consternation against the military. Hollywood perverts life. It romanticizes everything. People are manipulated by Hollywood movies. Mr. Ledeen do you really want Hollywood to create another terrorist to adore? Thoughts and ideas can become real, why bring such thoughts to reality?

Private love motivates particular individuals to take actions that benefit other individuals. Tyranny is therefore subverted three times: firstly as the motivator behind the benefit, secondly as the source of the benefit, and thirdly as a its recipient.
