Thank you again. After reading your book and another called "Enemies of Civiliation" I have gained an understanding of looking at this war in a logical fashion, a view which simply does not exist in the media etc.

The idea that one must to be nice to one's enemies' allies in order to disuade/persuade them is how most people raised their children. I have watch parents whose children are addicted to drugs and liquor try to be nice to their children so they would get off of drugs and alcohol. Obviously that does not work. Intervention or something to brain wash them from their addiction is, perhaps, their only hope. The Muslim Brotherhood has been brainwashed in their thinking and their distortion of their logic. It is their belief that Jihad is a duty. How are we going stop their thinking by being nice to them? I simply do not understand. Did Dr. Spock do this to us or some other children rearing guru? We are simply illogical in our understanding of the danger that is here.

Furthermore, the war on terror has just begun. The possible dangers facing us our so multifaceted that it will take years to overcome this threat to our lives as we live them today.

Thank you for your courage to speak in a logical fashion. I just found your voice recently and I am amazed how well you put "my thoughts" forward.

Judy
