Indeed. I don't for the life of me believe that it is representetive of a 
majority of Americans, but I cannot be the only one that felt a shiver when I 
heard that idiot savant GWB quoting Psalms as an excuse for nuking arabs?

If the man is, in fact, a Christian, then surely the only response is to turn 
the other cheek and forgive?

The World Trade Centre is no more representetive of the people of the world, 
than the WTO, or WIPO, or the IMF or the World Bank, or any of these other 
unaccountable, unelected quangos that propogate a system of repression whose 
only benefactor is the wallets of US Big Business TM. In fact, for a 
terrorist attack, it was a highly symbolic target. We've all seen fight club, 
right?

Before the US can defeat the other great evils of this world, it must defeat 
its own. That is all I ask. Alas, I fear it may be too much to ask from a 
people, if news reports are to believe, have already committed 70-plus 
assaults agains muslims and sikhs (!), including one incident of a bag of 
pig's blood being thrown at a New York mosque.
