What you say is true, Dickey, but don't forget one thing.

In the view of a lot of Muslims, the Israelis and Americans are terrorists. And they (Americans & Isrealis) have certainly demonstrated over and over again that they can kill a lot more people than the Muslim terrorists can, because they have a lot more firepower.

In my view they are all committing terrorism. What I mean is: the Muslim fighters are committing terrorism, the Israelis are committing terrorism, and the USA is committing terrorism.

But they all suffer from selective blindness. They only recognize terror AS terror when someone they don't agree with does it.

Typical human thinking...

Indians and whites saw it exactly that way in the frontier days, remember? It was always "the other guy" who was the "savage". It was always the other guy who killed innocent people.

The truth was, they both did.
