How do you see the war on terrorism? Is it a clash between the forces of
the disentegrator and those of the unifier?


> Lt. Gen. William G. "Jerry" Boykin, the new deputy undersecretary of
Defense for intelligence, is a much-decorated and twice-wounded veteran of
covert military operations. From the bloody 1993 clash with Muslim warlords
in Somalia chronicled in "Black Hawk Down" and the hunt for Colombian drug
czar Pablo Escobar to the ill-fated attempt to rescue American hostages in
Iran in 1980, Boykin was in the thick of things.

to declare that radical Islamists hated the United States "because we're a
Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian
... and the enemy is a guy named Satan." - "

Do terrorists view the United States as the "Great Satan"?

Do you think we reincarnate for specific purposes other than the pursuit of

President Bush: "He's in the White House because God put him there."

Could we agree that he is in the White House because Karma put him there?
