I have a hard time believing that any empty diplomatic gesture like this would save lives of our military men and women in Iraq. Fanatical Muslim extremists are just that -- I don't think that patronizing them will make them any less anxious to blow themselves up and take our soldiers with them. I am glad that we are not appeasing them by condemning Israel, but we've yet to do much to dismantle the cycle of hatred towards the US that fuels terrorist organizations.
