There is reform necessary in certian areas of the middle east, I suppose. It's really sad that they think they have to resort to terrorism in order to try to protect themselves and their ideals (it's anyones guess whether they need to or not, and that's another conversation). I wish we could all sit at a big table with everyone over some Budwisers and just work the whole thing out. That's not the way it works though. I think that Locobot, like any one else, has a problem with any terrorists, not just Muslim ones. I had a problem with the Muir Building being demolished by domestic terrorists just as much as I had a problem with Muslim fundamentalists attacking us. The problem is that I don't see a huge difference between the two groups. Let's compare:

Muslim fundementalists: Faith or political based belief system that allows massive attacks on innocent civilians that they believe are their enemies.
Oklahoma City bombers: Faith or political based belief system that allows massive attacks on innocent civilians that they believe are their enemies.

Muslim fundamentalists: Used public and american transpostation (American Airlines, TWA, etc.) to inflict their destruction.
Oklahoma City bombers:Used public and american transpostation (rented truck) to inflict their destruction.

Muslim fundamentalists: There are more of them.
Oklahoma City bombers: There are more of them.

Muslim fundamentalists: Part of a larger community that is being blamed for the mistakes of the few.
Oklahoma City bombers: Part of a larger community that is not being blamed for the mistakes of the few.

I hope that was helpful.

Edit: I just read the posts by nova. Nova: I totally agree with you 110%. But. Be careful going off about the 9/11 stuff. As we just saw, some people (like stevo, for example) get very angry about the possibilities surrounding the 9/11 attacks. People have a hard time accepting the mear possibility that we weren't told the whole truth. The reality is that we may never find out with absolute certianty what happened. Just giving you fair warning.
