THE QUESTION
FROM THE PANEL
Islam Not the Enemy; God Not the Issue
Barack Obama would do well not to attack terrorism as a religious problem or an extremist one. Fortunately, he already seems to have adopted the argument that "soft power" (meaning the use of influence, persuasion, and negotiation) will do far more good than the Bush administration's rigid adherence to hard power, meaning bombs. Whatever happens, this is yet another area where God should be left out of the equation.
