You mean the ones we're propping up in the hope they wont go full AQ anytime soon?<BR/><BR/>I must have missed all those marches by millions of people represented by "moderate and legitimate Muslim groups" condemning terrorism and urging muslims to turn in the terrorists in their midst.<BR/><BR/>Anymouse also said: "So his solution is to have Bush not deal with any Muslims?
