"The Pentagon's second-in-command sought to rally support in Asia today for moderate Muslim nations and their people who find themselves ''on the front lines of the struggle against terrorism.''
Paul D. Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary, said the United States and its allies in the region ''have an obligation'' and ''a self-interest'' to support tolerant Muslims who champion democratic practices. ''When we help give them moral and material support against the opposition they encounter, we are indeed helping lay the foundation for peace,'' he said."
