It looks like bin Laden, Dick Cheney, Glenn Beck, and the people at the Washington Times and Fox News might have got their way, a world at war, but there may be still time for Obama and sober folks to help us get along with each other instead.
In Europe Muslims are seen as freaks, in the US we tend to have a touch of a melting pot and Muslims tend to get such jobs as back tellers because Islam preaches honesty, but it may not be enough and the world could end up dividing into warring camps like bin Laden and Beck craves, but groups like the Daniel Pearl Foundation are trying to bring us all together instead.

Bring us together? Buddha couldn’t do it. Jesus couldn’t do it. More locally, Lincoln couldn’t do it. Why in the world would you think Obama — in the face of a concerted effort to Balkanize America — can?

Thanks for the Comment Balkanize America. I am troubled how to explain what Al Qaeda, bin Laden, Beck and extreme neocons advocate as being similar in some ways.
By the way five years ago, people would have said peace was impossible in Northern Ireland. What happened there that the rest of the world can copy?
