I'm a little pickier on which ones. But i shouldn't need to mention those in the West who are not nearly so discriminating in who they think is a legitimate target of violence due to terrorist activity on the US. I think the whole flypaper thesis, that we fight "them" over in Iraq so that we don't have it happen here is an extension of this imparticularity. We'd rather inflict collateral damage than have it inflicted on us.
Which i suppose is a self-protecting rhetoric and stratagy. But it clearly displays some striking parallels to the disregard of civilian status in those groups that we call terrorists. What else is terror, but shock and awe?
