Poll results in Indonesia show that US sponsored tsunami relief may be having an effect on public opinion.
In the first substantial shift of public opinion in the Muslim world since the beginning of the United States' global war on terrorism, more people in the world's largest Muslim country now favor American efforts against terrorism than oppose them.[...]
For the first time ever in a major Muslim nation, more people favor US-led efforts to fight terrorism than oppose them (40% to 36%). �Importantly, those who oppose US efforts against terrorism have declined by half, from 72% in 2003 to just 36% today. For the first time ever in a Muslim nation since 9/ 11, support for Osama Bin Laden has dropped significantly (58% favorable to just 23%). 65% of Indonesians now are more favorable to the United States because of the American response to the tsunami, with the highest percentage among people under 30. Indeed, 71% of the people who express confidence in Bin Laden are now more favorable to the United States because of American aid to tsunami victims.

With democracy starting to take hold throughout the middle east, and the collapse of terrorist regimes who's only aim is to oppress people, Bush could find his face carved in mount Rushmore, which would be totally cool!
...especially if Reagan gets up there too.
It would be worth it to have them both up there just to see the expression on Moore's and Kennedy's face...
i'll pay a dollar, or two for that! the left icons have to be just shitting themselves right now. but you know, they're actively looking for a way to spin this to their credit. and blame bush for something. it's all the left does.
W, smirking, for all time.
Now that's pretty funny.
there is a respectable position that the problem with Islam is the Koran and Mohammed. Islam really does want us all to submit.
