Uh huh. And your point is?

We know for certain who those people were and what they were trying to do on 911 (there were 19 of them), but I don't think we know for certain who those people are and what they are trying to do that killed and injured our soldiers in Iraq. How many of them were terrorists and how many of them were Iraqis out to kill other Iraqis?

I don't know this for certain, but before 911, I don't think most of the several billion Arabs or Muslims thought that we were their enemies.

By portraying Arabs and Muslims as people that want to do us harm has some elements of a self fulfilling prophecy.
