"just the same"? hardly.

Looking for a sig the
lawyers will hate


"Oh, he's black, he must be a mugger or a drug dealer or just plain up
to no good."
"Oh he's asian, he must not be able to play basketball."
"Oh he's wearing cloth on his head and he's looks Arabic, he must be a
terroist."
"Oh he's Polish, he must be stupid."
"Oh he's Irish, he must be a perpetual drunk."

Like the qoutes above, Jon's statement was a general
assumption/sterotypical. His inability to separate friends from foes
is the same as the terrorists' inability to separate friends from foes.
It is/was this 'shortcoming' that gets more and more of our people
targeted and killed. It is/was this 'shortcoming' that makes more and
enemies for us around the world. It is/was this 'shortcoming' that
makes us 'hate' our enemies and our enemies hate us more and more. It
is "shoot them all, let God sort them out" attitude that perpetuates
hatrade.
