Who's bowing to anybody out of fear and timidity? And what does what goes on in other countries have to do with anything regarding this issue? Jones and his kooks in Florida have a perfect right to burn the Koran if they wish. It's just an extremely stupid and unamerican thing to do.

LOL, I couldn't come up with any racist words to desribe your nonsensical rant. The only adjectives I could come up with are delusional and paranoic.

It has never worked. It's the same tired old Republican BS that got the economy into the mess that it's in now, and that Obama and the Democrats are doing their best to fix, although their stimulus packages to date have been far too small.

They are building a community center blocks away from the site of September 11th with chapels for Christiians, Jews and Muslims, as well as a September 11th Memorial. There is absolutely no problem from this. It's all a manufactured controversy by a dispicable Islamophobic blogger and faux news and the Murdoch empire. It seems many of their sheep have bought into it.

No, I always keep my friends tight. Nevertheless, this made up controversy would never have even existed except for an extremely Islamophobic blogger, whose fear mongering was exploited by the right wing press and faux news rabble rousers. See http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/...

What a silly letter. There has been no vendetta against Christians by anyone. They are free to worship as they choose anytime or anywhere they want. Only the government cannot endorse a specific religion as our founding fathers intended. It's only when they try to impose their beliefs on others through government sanction that they get into trouble. As the the manufactured outrage over the Muslim Cultural Center, a good read can be found at: http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/...

GazetteOnline.com : Why is Iran allowed nuclear power plant?

Fair enough. Still, any increase in conflict in the area and the uncertainty it creates will have a definite impact on the price of oil.

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:44:37 +0000

Oh, and then there's the matter of oil and its transport over the oceans. Do you think, just maybe, the Iranians might want to consider closing down the Strait of Hormuz to oil traffic? I can't imagine that that would have any impact on the world's oil supply or the price of oil. In short, there is no viable military option in dealing with Iran's nuclear amitions at this time. Aside from all that, great letter
