"If there's any comparison between the compassion and decency of the American people and the terrorist tactics of extremists, it's flawed logic,” Bush said. “It's just -- I simply can't accept that. It's unacceptable to think that there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective."
Now how would this sound if you lived in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, or Pakistan? It's complicated. The compassion and decency of the American people wouldn't cut a lot of ice in Baghdad, but they have seen Islamic extremism up close too.
