Hold it Ed.
Let's go back to the sixties!
A black man just raped a white girl down the street and the white male residents are hunting him down. The first black man they find looks like the evil do-er. As a matter of fact, one of the guys thinks he's been stealing the peaches off his tree.

Is this justice?
Or blind justice?
the black community, incensed that the whites killed the wrong man, retaliate.......and the hatred grows.

I am NOT saying that the Taliban and OBL is not involved.
I'm just saying we should learn to be a little more careful where we tread and using unrelenting FORCE.
So they lynch him
