I think most of your readers are worried about the rise of Muslim countries in taking power for themselves. I mean, look at Iraq with a population of 25 million of which 80% are docile favouring the American toppling of Saddam, only the Sunnis are giving resistence and they constitute 4 million of which only roughly a million are men of fighting age are bringing America to its knees.

Look around. Muslims are fast spreading across the world they are doing economically well, education standards are rising and they have the manpower. You people in the west are frightened...why? Frightened people like Reuben will not change this! America has overextended itself, it cant cope with insurgents in one country and all the whilst Russia and China are thanking these freedom fighters for keeping America busy and off their back. America has started something it cant afford to lose, and can't win.
