People asked very similar questions about the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
I think it's important for us to remember that we are not facing unthinking aliens, but rather real people who possess all the complexity of thought that we do. Certainly there are fanatics with whom we cannot negotiate, but let's not paint an entire nation, region, or religion with that brush, because it is simply inaccurate, and more importantly it's inadvisable.
In the end, the humane and decent impulses of the residents of Russia and other communist bloc nations were sufficient to override the inhumanity of leaders desperately clinging to power. And so, I suspect it will be with the Middle East.
But we do need to be wary - the quickest way to get people to support even an unpopular leader is to attack the country. After all, Bush's approval rating doubled right after Sept 11th.
So let's feed the best instincts of other people, and not stoop to the worst in ourselves.

Muslim or no longer, humans are going to tempt you with crap like that. It's as much as you to take manipulate of your existence and say 'no'. And Allah is an all-forgiving God proper? I could suppose He could forgive you. Drinking and cocaine I do not keep in mind sins, extra of methods of ruining your existence. However, if you'll drink responsibly, there may be not anything mistaken with having a drink or 2. Cocaine, however, is solely simple unhealthy for you.

You don't, but you do not invade a country to fix the problem either. I think you build a strong defense. You protect every thing you can especially the borders. There are aching gaps in our defense as we speak that are not being addressed because are fighting a war based on a lie. It was just wrong.

I don't think you can debate or negotiate with someone who has a closed mind like that.

Yes. Stop bombing them
They're not simply saying 'Kill All Americans.' They want revenge for the attacks on their country - as you did so.
