Hi Bilow, (or is that Buy hilow?)

"But the target list doesn't look very Jewish."

Can you explain to me how the WTC/Pentagon attack looked "Jewish"?????

sheesh,

Cropdusting-like attacks could still be a viable terrorist option. I don't see, however, how Judaism should, could or would command any type of significance in a conflict where a small group of savvy yet stupid extremists with no religiously viable rationale have decided to incur the wrath of modern, organized, powerful, market-driven, worldwide secularism.
As long as radical old-world belief systems cannot successfully merge with the longstanding thrust of modernity, there'll be upheavals. The momentum of modernity over fundamentalism has prevailed for thousands of years. Within that time there have been any number of upheavals. In that respect we're now in the midst of history. On an emotional level it seems more immediate and personal than it really is but taken in context, it's just another wave that constantly rolls up on the beach.
I did kinda like the low-tide years though.
