The United States is not responsible for the extremist groups in this world, they were operating long before the United States existed. The only difference is that they all now have a common enemy (the U.S.) which is easy to blame for every thing they see as improper. They should be reminded of the log in their own eye before removing the speck of dust in ours.

It's also easy to blame president Bush for everything from world chaos to running out of toilet paper. People seem to forget that we've been having problems with Muslims long before Bush; of course, that is the curse of the American President...the buck stops here.

I think it's proper to point out that there was no "balance of peace" for the president to shatter. Where did that idea come from? Was there world peace before Bush? What did I miss?
