I love the closing Gitmo argument by some republicans.They say closing it and bringing them to say Levenworth endangers american lives that live around the prison.Like the people already in that prison are saints you wouldnt have to worry about if they escaped.
Right now the muslim opinion is at best 50\50 who like us.We need to get that to something like 60\40 who like us to really turn the tide against the terrorists.Closing Gitmo is a good start but how we deal with israel and the palestinians will matter too.
I don't know if you saw 60 minutes last night but they had a story on the jewish settlements that are outside israels borders in palestine.That is a situation that is going to explode and basically half of israel knows they are in the wrong.If we allow them to stay put on the palestinians land we will look like shit to the muslims.
