That's the problem when the enemy is so scattered,
financed, and ruthless. Or ready to commit suicide
for the cause. Assuming that willingness, everything
else is easy and do-able.

I feel sorry for the people with the ethnic look
who are taking a lot of heat for the terrorists and who
lead normal, law abiding lives.

There was an article in our legal newspaper concerning
a lawyer in Northern California whose life was threatened
by a young white guy who thought he looked like a Muslim.
(The lawyer was Indian).

This is the unfortunate fall-out of the 9/11 atrocities.*
It also extends to just what you are saying here. But
how can anyone really know, or check out, anyone else?
Tough questions.

*If I hear the events of 9/11 referred to as a tragedy
one more time, I think I will scream. A tragedy is
an airline crash due to an engine failure. The concept
of tragedy connotes something different from deliberate sabotage, IMHO. These were atrocities,
crimes, etc. The term tragedy suggests something
altogether different.....
