    I can't believe the amount of anti-arab hate being spewed here. I thought this was a forum for educated folk, but I've found out today that this is just another juvenile water cooler.

    Do you want blood because of this attack? You'll see it. Millions of gallons of American blood in another Vietnam.

    Have any of you ever read the history books? Have you ever heard of the HOLOCAUST? Guess not.. special ID cards for arabs (an obvious rip-off, and a great question by the gallop..too bad the people they called weren't smart enough to be considered human.)

    Go on and beat up the Sikhs (I don't know why..they're from india.. but they wear a turban, oh yeah.) Burn down mosques.

    Me? I'm moving to Norway. I don't want to see the damn American flag on every street corner. I don't care to hear your war-cries. Americentric journalism, Americentric mourning (what about the numberless deaths we've caused?.. like when we blew up a pharmaceutical plant (scary, because I work at one) in Afghanistan.), I can't wait until I hear them no more.

    Good Bye, United States of Self-Pity. Good-Bye, Self-righteous bastion of hate.

    Isn't that the way it always is? Those that complain the most loudly, are usually just as guilty. We call it hypocracy. At least Jerry Falwell apologised for his ignorance. I'm sure /. will either ignore this inconsistency or attempt some justification for their hypocracy. Oh well, with VA bleeding money like a hemopheliac in a room full of Islamic Fundementalist with box cutters, we wont have to put up with their nonsense much longer.
