.... There was no terror in Iraq before the war?
Tom, I truly believe you when you say, < I honestly have no idea what you're talking about> but then this is the problem.
You just don't have any idea. And what a shame.
Apparently you are content to accept the kind of definition of terrorism that admits "I don't know what it is actually, but I will recognize it when I see it (or someone tells me that is it.)
Your life-style and attitude empitomize the phenom of life imitating art. The opening lines of a novel go something like, "I am a camera, recording not thinking."
How sad.
