My God, Nicole!!    What an awful encounter!!! Thanks god it wasn't an appointment for a sonogram!!

What city was this in, if I may ask?

Venthony: part of intelligent analysis is recognizing correct sources and correct targets. For example, your statement that "radical fundamental Islamism is evil" is a partial or disguised truth. And the conclusion, that therefore the West needs to kill something or someone, is erroneous.

It is true that radical fundamentalism, in the sense you use the word, is generally pretty evil stuff. It is no prettier in Virginia than it is in Bhaghdad. In either case the lesson has been taught over and over that making martyrs does not resolve theistic facisms or fanatacism. Education, and finding root causes (such as poverty, political oppression, or intention manipulation) can be effective, though.
