``What it does in the Muslim world, the rest of the world is giving an opportunity to see American generosity, American values in action,'' Powell said after meeting with Hassan Wirayuda, his Indonesian counterpart.


``America is not an anti-Islamic, anti-Muslim nation. America is a diverse society where we respect all religions,'' the secretary said


Powell said he hopes Muslim countries see the wide range of U.S. aid and involvement around the world, of which the disaster relief is only the latest example. U.S. involvement and cooperation ``is in the best interest of those countries and it's in our best interest,'' he said.


``We are supporting these activities because we believe it is in the best interest of those countries and its in our best interest, and it dries up those pools of dissatisfaction, which might give rise to terrorist activity,'' Powell said.


So basically, this is helping the victims of the tragedy to fight terrorism i.e. Islam but with a different face!


You see Ronnie, it's statements like these which raise suspicions as these are from the "horses mouth".


I'll let you decide what value this action is based upon, if any.
