Good Will

I now hear a lot of conjecture on all the talk shows about whether the aid work we're doing in Indonesia (the most populous Muslim country in the world) will bring us some measure of good will from Muslims. It isn't going to happen. People who hate this country are of the same ilk as people who hate George Bush. No matter how much good we do, it won't matter. Their hatred is insurmountable. In fact, I've been quite disturbed watching footage of our sailors delivering food and medical aid. They aren't wearing body armor, they don't appear to be armed. It's only a matter of time before we're attacked. I imagine at this very moment, the thugs of Jemaah Islamiya are gleefully praising Allah for delivering their enemies into their hands and are plotting against us. Of course, the thugs of the Democratic Party are always plotting ways to bring down George Bush.
