Ever since 9/11 people seem to have forgotten that not all terrorists are Arabic or part of Al-Qaida. There are still environmental nuts that like to blow things up, burn things down, or chain themselves to bull dozers. And, their Americans. Gasp. [ Shouldn't that be "they're Americans. Gasp." ] What "environmental nuts" do you know about who have blown things up or burned things down? I haven't heard of that. Maybe you're thinking of Boy Scouts, who have been known to burn down entire forests. Are you saying Boy Scouts are all terrorists? Sitting in a tree, trying to prevent it from being cut down, does not seem like terrorism to me. Nobody is harmed except lumber company executives who get lower profit by not harvesting so much cellulose. But it's not like anybody is getting killed, as in the WTC. Chaining yourself to a bull dozer, same deal. Some Earth First'ers have reputedly put sugar in gas tanks, causing property damage, but does that really constitute terrorism? Vandalism, sure. Tree spiking was perhaps done a few times, but few incidents are documented. Please define terrorist. |
