Very wrong. Russia attack and killed Moslems in Afganistan and continues 
to do so in Chechya - where is the condemnation for all that death? The 
US has supported Moslem countries
- with billions in aid to Egypt and Afganistan
- with military force for Kosova, Bosnia, Somalia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia
Clearly a double standard. 

The fact is that many Moslem countries have terrible living conditions - 
poverty, no educatioin, no opportunity, short life expectancy - not 
because of the US - but becuase of their own tyrant leaders. Their hatred 
is misplaced and misdirected, as are your comments.
