Too sweet a dream.

Don't you wish that on the day after the Twin Towers went down, Bush met with scholars and asked a zillion questions, then spoke to the nation on the implications of Islam worldwide, and the implications of the growing Muslim population in the West?

It seems too much to ask that a president would go on TV and speak of the belief system and the history. ("This might turn out to be the third jihad. We need to respond with skill and for a long, long time.")

Instead, we had the ceremony at the National Cathedral, where the Muslim cleric was presented as the equal of the rest.
