It was extremely well researched and presented and I felt that I really learned a lot from reading it. I think it was also fairly objective and straight forward (this coming from both a Christian and a female) so please ignore negative comments like those stated above. Ray,

Thanks for posting though.I guess for some, the issue isn't principle, only who they hate more. In otherwords, some people -- hint, hint -- tolerate oppressive, as long as it is against the people they hate. I think the problem in the Middle East and in China and in other countries is the oppression, not the Jew, the Christian or the Muslims.Oh, and I did want to say that I don't think any nation in the world will be able to replicate the magnificent display by the Chinese Government of the opening of the Beijing Olympics -- unless they are tyrtants, oppressives and dictators who can order people to do things and take as much money from the people as possible to pay for the international propaganda.But I digress :)Ray Hanania Hey Rabbani, your very high intelligent, literate observations reveal a lot about you.
