Americans made the right choice

Maybe they didn't make the right choice from the Muslim point of view, but when have Americans ever cared about the Muslim point of view? After 9/11, Americans were faced with the stark reality that their atom bombs are ineffective against suicide bombs.

To win the war on terror they have to fight fire with fire, terror with terror, fundamentalism with fundamentalism. After Bush lies to the American people and misleads them to a pre-emptive, unjustified, unprovoked war in Iraq, Americans vote in record numbers to give Bush a clear mandate with a historical majority of the popular vote, and a majority in Congress, the Senate and the Supreme Court. If that doesn't strike fear into the heart of every Muslim terrorist, what else will? Kerry? Ironically, if Bush had not invaded Iraq, he would not be viewed by the rest of the world as the NUMBER 1 terrorist, and he probably would have lost the election. So don't condemn the American electorate; they made the right choice.
