We are criticized for trying to take over the world and yet we are seen by the enemy as too weak to invoke fear/respect.

The American Civil Liberties Union today expressed its disappointment with the House passage of a bill placing undue and unnecessary burdens on Americans' fundamental right to vote. H.R. 4844, the "Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006," requires voters to present a government-issued photo ID in order to vote in federal elections. In addition, beginning in 2010 voters would be required to present a photo ID that was issued based on proof of citizenship in order to vote. The measure passed by a vote of 228-196.
From Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office:
"Less than two months after the renewal of the Voting Rights Act, the House of Representatives has chosen to pass legislation disenfranchising the very citizens the VRA was designed to protect. No eligible citizen should have to pay to vote. There are voters who simply don't have photo ID and requiring them to purchase one in order to vote would be tantamount to a poll tax. This measure will disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minority voters, senior citizens, voters with disabilities, and others who do not have photo identification nor the financial means to acquire it."
But Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), who sponsored the Federal Election Integrity Act, says requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls "presents no greater hardship than people face performing everyday activities."
For example, Hyde noted that government-issued photo IDs are required for driving vehicles, applying for Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, food stamps, boarding airplanes, entering government buildings, registering at school, getting student loans, renting movies, and cashing checks.
Given all the cases in which U.S. citizens are asked to produce photo IDs, it should not be difficult to produce IDs to guard against fraud in the electoral system, Hyde said.
Those against it are claiming it's a poll tax on the poor, minorities and elderly and that they can't afford to get a drivers license or passport. They fail to mention that the bill includes a portion to pay for free for the poor who can't afford a photo ID.
Remember those two Fox reporters who were kidnapped in Iraq and who converted to Islam to save their lives? I remember thinking, "What’s the point? We all know the conversion is bogus. Why did their captors even bother?". On further reflection - I know why they bothered. That video of the hostages sitting in robes, extolling their newfound religion was not intended for us, it was intended for the Muslim world. Why? Because what the Muslim world saw were two Christian Westerners who’s belief system was so weak - they’d throw it away without a second thought - if their lives were threatened. Living proof of what the likes of Usama Bin-Laden have been saying for years: that the West’s resolve is so weak –they’ll roll over and surrender at the first sign of real danger. And that this -and this alone- will allow Islam’s victory over a technologically superior enemy.
This is a new “cartoon” circulating on Muslim sites around the world.

The Washington Post is already laying the groundwork for the now standard “We got robbed” strategy.

"Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry also called the pope’s remarks “regrettable.”I’m not kidding. Read this.
“Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.".
Salih Kapusuz, deputy leader of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamic-rooted party, said Benedict's remarks were either "the result of pitiful ignorance" about Islam and its prophet or, worse, a deliberate distortion.
"He [Pope Benedict] has a dark mentality that comes from the darkness of the Middle Ages. He is a poor thing that has not benefited from the spirit of reform in the Christian world," Kapusuz told Turkish state media. "It looks like an effort to revive the mentality of the Crusades."
"Benedict, the author of such unfortunate and insolent remarks, is going down in history for his words," Kapusuz added. "He is going down in history in the same category as leaders such as Hitler and Mussolini."
