Maybe someone should build a multireligious center somewhere on that sacred soil. Does the U.S. even half multireligious centers? It sounds a bit to laissez-faire to me. I like the idea.

I would have preferred a multi-religious center of all the main religions. It would have sent a message to all the other countries that all religions have a stake in peace.

Of course, there has never been such a case. Indeed, the idea is simply laughable that liberals from Harry Reid to Michael Moore would ever spend anywhere near the time and effort to stop the construction of a Catholic Church that is currently being expended by virtually everyone on the right from Gingrich to Goldberg. And, speaking to Mr. Goldberg's deep, intellectual debating "point", they don't seem to be coming out in droves to endorse pie-throwing either. HP,

For one thing, the logic is bizarre, something like "the left is illogical and intolerant so we can sometimes be that way to." But more importantly, this is clearly one of those pseudo-issues designed to distract people from real issues. It's lashing out at some vague "them", which has intentionally been undefined. The whole "war on terror" escapade deserves scare quotes--we're fighing a so-called "war" on so-called "terror" based on sentiments of those in the so-called "heartland." Stripped of all the double mirrors and facades, the U.S. is simply operating as it has since the mid-1800s with armies posted throughout the world fighing for economic interests for the benefit of small groups of people with economic interests in those areas. This particular psuedo-issue might have a modicum of interest if the mosque builders were some radical sect preaching the establishment of some worldwide califate. Instead, they are (from what I've heard) very liberal Muslims that Al Qaeda would seek to destroy if they ever ran the world. At any rate, what a bunch of silliness!

We had a fight not so long ago over Dubai port deal of which it did not pass, and that was no where near ground zero. I was attacking this administrations failure to understand the American Peoples view toward the Middle East. It really was never a left wing vs right view.

I dont think anything should be done to prevent the Mosque from being built. My point wasn't in advocating against it, my point was in showing how quickly liberals were in defending it - when, especially in other cases, its liberals who stand on the side of weakening private property and religion in the public square. If this would have been a Wal-Mart, for example, or even a Catholic Church, the tables could have easily been reversed. LaurenceB,

In order to answer the question at the very least I would need to know what "it" refers to, who the "poor attempt" was initiated by, and why you consider it "poor". @Fernando,

I really don’t have enough information to even begin to understand that question, let alone respond to it.

In order to answer the question at the very least I would need to know what “it” refers to, who the “poor attempt” was initiated by, and why you consider it “poor”.

So you don't view it as a poor attempt at foreign policy public relations then? Even though The State Department sponsored Feisel Abdul Rauf in a tour of the Middle East. Okay!!
