Good for you. That is how everyone should be. However, from looking at the posts
in places like MandrakeForum.com, it seems as there is a vocal minority who are
convinced that the answer to the problem is to bomb the entire Middle East and
kill all the Arabs. That is scary, and IMHO these people are even worse than the
terrorists.
