A bit off the subject, but I had to reply. As an American, I find such a commet scary. As a Christian, I find it heartless. And, as a human being, I find it offensive. When you start believing any race, or in this case religion, is not, as a whole, peacefull, based off the actions of a group of fanaticals (even called "extremists" by other Muslims, mind you), you should take a look at the history of your own race or religion (whatever those may be). There is not a race, or religion, that didn't (or doesn't now) have a few fanaticals in it. If you do take that long-and-hard look, and it doesn't upset or scare you (to some degree, anyway), might I suggest seeking professional or religious counceling.timmaay said:exactly ... remember reading a news bit this morning where a muslim cleric was bemoaning " ... harm to property and persons does not go with the peaceful ways of Islam..."

creme said:what part must I be kidding about? You mean to tell me the whitehouse.com name isn't powerful. One lobbyist in Washington might spend MIILIONS of dollars a year influencing votes and there a more lobbyists in D.C than politicians. Don't you think it would be a pretty good domain name to own to further you agenda? Certainly worth millions of dollars..................................................................................................................................and think about this: The Democratic and Republican National commities have Tens of millioons of dollars. The RNC currently has 50+ MILLION in the bank and spent 200 MILLION during the last election. Would it not be worth a few million dollars to OWN the name WhiteHouse.com. That's a couple of national commercials to them. Think about it, even if a Democrat was in office, everytime someone went to WhiteHouse.com (which hs nearly 3X the overture #'s as whitehouse.gov) They'd be able to have their veiws posted. And they'd own it for the rest of forever as long as they paid the reg fee. A few Mill? Sounds like a no brainer. Hell, they must spend that much on paper clips.
