But that's precisely the issue - where do we focus our attention? I'm arguing that there is too much focus on Islamic terrorists, who do *not* present a great threat, relative to other threats such as, say, China. Also, you are conflating Islamic terrorist groups to Islam as a whole, which is way off. If Islam poses a threat, it is in the form of state actors such as Iran, who have the resources, money, and manpower to cause damage on a regional basis at least. So far, Bush is soft on Iran, so I see all the bluster about "terrorism" as kind of cover-your-a$$ fluff that doesn't really accomplish much.
