You always say radical islam but ı am a muslim in Turkey. We are muslim too but we are not moderate or radical muslim. There is a contradiction that somebody doing something in arabic countires to preserve their auothority or somethinng else but you associate it with the islam. İslam isnt against democracy. How you think or who said that İslam is against democracy. By teh way you must know that US more lier than terrosits becaue US soldiers killed more than one millon people in ıraq because of non exist nuclear weapons. And in Palestinia palestinians selected hamas but what did america?

Mr. Rose:

Have Mr. Coll back for the hour. He and persons of his caliber are exactly the kinds of voices we need to be hearing in this otherwise thoughtless and impulse-driven media. With radical Islam as the greatest threat facing democracies such as the US, India and the countries of Western Europe, the analysis and insight offered by a person such as Mr. Coll will only widen the playing field from which to ponder and maybe even create ideas which can be used to subvert or at least minimize such an existential threat.

I agree with Mr. Wessels' comment above on Mr. Axelrod. If this country cannot vote for someone with the unique knowledge and abilities of Sen. Obama...then any pretense at changing the current paroxysm of idiocy in our foreign and domestic policy is all but a fantasy.

I just watched the April 3, 2008 show... and perhaps the most important piece, Steve Coll's segment, just abruptly ended when time ran out. There was a lot to be said there from someone with uncommon knowledge about how to counter the Bin Laden influence around the world.

While I voted for Obama, I could have seen 10 minutes less of his political strategist "umming" his way through spin. Someone in editing needs to rethink their priorities.
