Apparently the difference between you and me is that I believe all human beings are volitional entities, with free will, and the ability (and obligation) to choose between right and wrong, no matter where they live, who they are, or what they do. CB, you just haven't clued into the proper multi-culti logic here. You claim to be part of Western Culture, so must be judged by rarified Western standards; but Arabs must be judged in their cultural context, in which religious intolerance, racism, massacres, and now, suicide bombs, are normal. What is a "war-crime" from your country must be "understood in its proper cultural context" from theirs. This used to be called "patronizing the wogs," but we all know better now, don't we? -g- -ng-
