I think the american people have knowledge of the dangers of terrorists when it is them that attack us and our allies. How terrorisim is abstract is beyond me. To say that there is no "them," are you saying there is not such thing as an islamic terrorist?
Are you trying to say that islamic suicide bombers are just every day normal people trying to express themselves politically and its useless to try and seperate them from the rest of the populatation?
