I don't understand what you are trying to say... That doesn't surprise me, I wasn't really sure what I had said after I wrote it. except that you don't like the term Islamic fundamentalist. How 'bout we just use "terrorist"? That was the main point, that real Islamic fundamentalism really has nothing to do with terrorism. The two terms get bandied together often in the media, but the terrorist no more represent pious Muslims than do the guys who blow up the abortion clinics represent pious Christians. Most agree that there are many more terrorists now than there were before 9/11. Depends on how you look at it. You could call the pre-invasion Afghan government system institutionalized terrorism. Violence and abuse seems to have been extremely common, it just was "them against them" instead of "them against us". Are there more people involved in terrorist acts today in Afghanistan than there were people commiting violent acts against Afghan citizens in the pre-invasion Afghan government? I don't know. But I still have the conclusion that the way to eliminate Islamic terrorists is to democratize Islamic countries. Once that happens, the terrorism problem becomes theirs to deal with, not outsiders. If you can't get the people of Egypt to vote for a Sharia law system of life, there is no reason to detonate explosives on trains in London.
