No Bill, the problem is that you are defining "our enemy" so widely
that it is including some people who are actually our friends, and
would use your temporary anger to attack innocent people.

In an early post you asked what would happen when Muslims were told to
"Kill All Americans."  Guess what?  It's already happened!  That's
what Bin Laden publically announced a couple of years ago -- he
widened his "jihad" to include a war on all American *citizens*
instead of limiting it to American military like previous
declarations.

Now why haven't the millions of Muslims in this country massacred a
bunch of Americans?  Because the overwhelming majority of them know
that's not what Islam is about, and don't listen to such twisted
rhetoric.  Just like most Christians don't listen to twisted rhetoric
that claims to be in the name of Christianity.  

Here's something Bush said, in his speach last night:

   I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the
   world. We respect your faith. It's practiced freely by many
   millions of Americans and by millions more in countries that
   America counts as friends. Its teachings are good and peaceful, and
   those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of
   Allah.

But you know how Bush is such a raving liberal that he's just trying
to cover up things when he says that Islam's teachings are "good and
peaceful", right?

You need to accurately define who "the enemy" is.  It's not Islam.
It's not the huge majority of Muslims.  It's a tiny fraction that have
been radicalized.  We don't need our friends being taken out by
"friendly fire" because you can't see who is a friend and who is an
enemy.
