text: would "liberal" leadership get the u.s. out of this mess? read the definition and decide: -  1a. not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. b. favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded. c. of, relating to, or characteristic of liberalism. the reality of it is that liberal leadership is excatly what got us into this mess in the first place.  what people don't seem to understand is that muslim fundamentalism is the anthithesis of anything liberal at all.  they view liberalism as evil, and see the united states as a champion of liberalism, and is thus a champion of evil ideals.     i do not agree.  i believe everyone should be free to make their own choices.  fundamental islam, would strip us of all of our civil  liberties and have us praying to allah, 7 times a day, covering our women up, killing gays, jews, christians, and blacks, censoring our papers, strip us of freedom of speach and so on.  so while these are the rights we are fighting to protect, it is not the style of government that would win this war.  these people respond to an iron fist, not a bleading heart, that being the case we must pound them into the ground with our conservative iron fist, so that we and those that want it are free to make our own choices.
