MUSLIM LEADERS in Asia condemned the U.S. attack on Thursday and said Americans would pay. A response from the 30-million-strong moderate Muhammadiyah Muslim group in Indonesia came within minutes of the United States and Britain launching attacks on Iraq. ?This is not an attack on Islam but an attack on humanity,? said Syafii Maarif, head of the organization.
Malaysia?s conservative Islamic opposition said Allah would bring about the U.S. superpower?s eventual downfall.
?This despicable war exposes the ugliness of America and its allies,? said Abdul Hadi Awang, the president of Parti Islam se-Malaysia.
?PAS is convinced that this war is the start of America?s destruction because Allah will not let any major power reign supreme forever.?

You now have what were once strong allies questioning our sanity, and you also have this country divided like no other time since the civil war.

The country was divided during the Vietnam era and there was almost anarchy and we pulled out of it. The majority of Americans support this war by percentages as high as 71% depending upon who took the poll and what questions were asked.
