Then I hope the terrorists are better informed than most people in
this group.

Now there is something I really don't want to hang our fate upon.

No one here says they're fighting Christianity, although that is the
under-current of the conversation. But their fight goes well beyond the
"US
and its allies." Rather, it encompasses all of Western civilization
and
Western morals and standards.

It was explicitly stated that this was a religious war (see cites
below).

"Dan Luke" wrote in message
...
We are in a religious war. We didn't choose it, but we've got it.

I think you are misinterpreting Dan's proclamation. We are in a "religious
war" of the terrorist's choosing -- not our own.

What I percieve is that a lot of people in the US can't face that they
are the target because that would mean they did something to deserve
it, and that seems to be unthinkable.

Your logic escapes me. How does blowing up innocents on trains in Spain,
blowing up innocents in a night club in Bali, and blowing up innocents in a
hotel in Baghdad punish the U.S.? And how did those people "deserve" it?

If the tenuous connection is "they're all allied with the U.S." well, by
your logic this conflict will have to escalate shortly into a world war.

More importantly, nothing you have said should dissuade anyone from feeling
total and utter contempt for the animals who have perpetrated these
atrocities -- against ALL of humanity.
