	episode 92 Premiered February 23, 2007 Guests: Sen. Joe Biden, David Mamet, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Steven Weber, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA). On the 2008 Presidential Election The next president of the United States is going to be left with no margin of error by this guy. And he or she better be able to get us out of Iraq quickly without ruining everything in the Middle East, and is going to have to move on to some really difficult places in the world before they explode on his or her watch. So I think it's a big deal, to state the obvious. – Sen. Joe Biden On the War Lithuania said this week they are "seriously considering" reducing their force of 53 troops. It's a small force but very effective. So far they've killed a dozen insurgents and three vampires. – Bill Maher On Religion This is, and the Republicans discovered this, a religious country and it has always been a religious country. It was founded by people who wanted to worship they way that they felt was correct ...Thomas Jefferson talked about freedom FROM religion, but this was the country, America, was right or wrong, founded by people who wanted freedom FOR religion. – David Mamet The Bible is full of a lot of violence. I mean, God in the Old Testament is a psychopath. He just kills, kills, kills, for no reason, good reason, bad reason. He's jealous. He just wants to kill. – Bill Maher On Islam What we should do is we should make a clear distinction between Islam as a set of beliefs, as we have done in the past in the west. Christianity was seen to be a set of beliefs. Communism was seen to be a set of beliefs. But then Muslims are adherents. And we can appeal to them. We can appeal to their common sense and we can tell them, listen, as a Muslim, these are some of the fundamentals of your religion that are compatible with democracy and with liberalism, and we have no issue with that... And so it is legitimate to tell Muslims, whether you view your religion as peace or not, this is how your religion is being used. And it's much better to get worked up about beheading people in the name of Islam than about drawing the Prophet Muhammad in a cartoon. – Ayaan Hirsi Ali			Bill Maher Features New Rules "In America, it's not the haves and have-nots.
