Aside from the obvious point that practically everyone who fits these criteria is not a terrorist and means no harm to anyone. - - PHC At 14:04 -0400, 9/10/02, Michael Cahill wrote: >While there are the Timothy McVeigh's out there, I think our problem really comes from Arabic/Farsi speaking dark skinned Muslims, US citizens or not. You might find it difficult to recruit native (as in those who were born here) Americans willing to commit suicide by destroying the World Trade Center by flying a jet into them. Even McVeigh didn't commit suicide. This type of insane quasi-religious belief in martyrdom is certainly not a Western idea. Without it 9/11 wouldn't have happened. At this point the enemy is pretty obvious. Screen those who fit the profile. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
