<<Have you ever heard of the term "UGLY AMERICAN" being applied to almost any American citizen? especially in the 60s and 70s? In fact a book entitled "The Ugly American" was written by an American observer and it explains that epithet.>>

With all respect, Aren't the terrorist acts of today mostly about religion, about the way we of US meet and treat the Moslem world of the middle east? Is it not about how we demand change toward our view of "correct"? We of the middle "Christian" have grown to (at least) accept the bulk of the Jewish religion & way of life of even the Orthodox.

Right or wrong, so far, understanding or living with the way of life of the more extreme & orthodox of the middle eastern Moslem world is lost to the bulk US citizens. For good or bad, we fail to understand or tolerate much of the way women are treated with-in the bulk of the middle eastern Moslem world. The bulk of the US simply doesn't, and or won't, understand.

Here in the US we corrupt toward the center, or in the world of religious terms "reformed". Can the middle eastern Moslem world learn to become (or at least tolerate) anything less than extreme orthodox rules?
