On television, I heard an American woman in a phone message recording, saying something like, "And I won't rest until I have personally assassinated at least ten of you myself." The message was left on the answering machine of the office of a Sikh organization. The woman who left the message apparently thought she was talking to Muslims.

And last night, on television, I saw an American woman say something like, "I don't care if they have to make a parking lot out of the whole country (Afghanistan). Just get in there, get it over with, and get out."

Mindless and hate-inspired images indeed.
