re: And yet
I resent the demonization of any group of people, any culture, any nation. It's counterproductive.
Examples:
Reagan called the Soviet Union the "Evil Empire"; today, the Russians are our friends, they live in a democracy almost like any other one. Many have emigrated to Antwerp and they're people like anybody else.
The Israel-Palestine conflict. Ever heard of the Geneva Agreement?
Palestinians and Israelis can be and are on talking terms.
The 9/11 terrorists didn't represent a nation, nor even a religion, but it really looks like it's exactly what some want to believe and that's what the terrorists want too!
