Re: Bring in arab/muslim/foreign terrorists, and bingo, people can't identify with these foreigners intruding on our way of life. Problem is, your "bingo" doesn't extend to the rest of the world....

<<... people can't identify with these foreigners intruding on our way of life. >>> The same and even more so with the zionists whose ultra rightwingers hijack (dictate) US foreign policy today, and even instituted the lies and deceit of this current administration. This should be no surprise, except Americans remain so clueless.

It is the inevitable result of their laws; they either have to conquer everybody or be hated by the whole human race..." "The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous - cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity." (Essai sur le Moeurs) "You seem to me to be the maddest of the lot. The Kaffirs, the Hottentots, and the Negroes of Guinea are much more reasonable and more honest people than your ancestors, the Jews. You have surpassed all nations in impertinent fables in bad conduct and in barbarism. You deserve to be punished, for this is your destiny."

They might be terrorists, but they're our own by Tony Norman Friday, January 09, 2004 Ah, domestic terrorists. In all of the hubbub, I'd almost forgotten about them. So had most Americans. But they never went away. Like centipedes emerging from under rocks after a long winter, American militias are once again peeking out from grottoes in Texas and New Jersey. Though pleased by the upsurge in xenophobia after Sept. 11, the brotherhood of racist militias was embarrassed to have been upstaged on the domestic front by 19 foreigners. Prior to Mohamed Atta and his air pirates, Timothy McVeigh was the heavyweight champion of terrorism here. Once again, dark-skinned people had displaced a hard-working white man in the pantheon of American fear. Still, domestic terrorists can take pride in McVeigh's accomplishment. After all, he buried 168 souls under the rubble of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995, all by himself. McVeigh's place among the front ranks of individual terrorists with a high body count on American soil remains second to none nearly three years after his execution. By contrast, the terrorists who flew planes into a Somerset County field, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have to divvy credit for 3,000 murders 19 ways. Since Sept. 11, homegrown terrorists have toiled in obscurity while Osama bin Laden continues his lonely putsch as the all-purpose boogeyman of the American imagination. The image of a foreign terrorist mastermind hiding out along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border plotting another Sept. 11 is somehow more disturbing to Americans than the thought of beer-bellied Texans mixing batches of pure sodium cyanide for a bomb that could kill thousands. Because extremists have been a part of the American experience in one way or another since the earliest days of the republic, we feel that we "know" them. Our familiarity with them tempers our fear, breeding both contempt and complacency. I wasn't paying attention when three Americans pleaded guilty to being part of a domestic terror plot straight out of "The Turner Diaries" last November. William Krar, of Noonday, Texas, admitted that, yes, he indeed possessed weapons of mass destruction. Sixty-five pipe bombs, 500,000 rounds of ammunition and every chemical ingredient necessary to build a sodium cyanide bomb that could kill thousands of Americans were found in a storage facility he rented. Krar's common-law wife, Judith Bruey, admitted possessing more weapons than the average platoon of U.N. peacekeepers. Bruey is looking at five years in prison when she's sentenced. Edward Feltus, the pride of the New Jersey Militia, may get 15 years for aiding and abetting the transportation of fake U.N. and Defense Department cards. It was these materials, mailed accidentally to a true patriot, that led to the government's discovery of the plot. With the exception of Krar, who will likely get life for owning a chemical bomb without a license, the conspirators are facing less prison time than Taliban sympathizer John Walker Lindh. Why the government never trumpeted smashing this particular conspiracy as loudly as it announced its suspicions about alleged al-Qaida collaborator Jose Padilla baffles me, especially when others may have helped Krar, Bruey and Feltus in their violent plot against the United States. In following the logic of fingerprinting and photographing every visitor to America from countries on the "terror" watch list, shouldn't we begin cataloging tourists from Texas and New Jersey? Gosh, I can think of at least one resident of Texas who might resent the inconvenience enough to pitch a fit. post-gazette.com
