Ya think maybe the blatant fact that the overwhelming majority of terrorist acts in the last two decades were committed by Muslim fanatics has something to do with this perception? Rolling Eyes

Funny, though, that in the last twenty years Americans have outkilled Arabs in a ratio in excess of one hundred to one.

not interested:

Typical left-wing emotionally-charged blather.

Can you possibly discern a difference between deliberate acts of terrorism against innocent civilians and unfortunate but unintentional incidents of collateral damage in time of war of the same? If you can't, we have no basis for a discussion.

Leftie hereos like Noam chomsky can't distinguish between collateral damage and intentional killing...it hurts their agenda of showing that the US is worse than the Nazis ever were... Of course to do this they can play with words and tell us that the US is "intentionally" killing people because the generals know that a certain percentage of civillians will die...so it's the same see.....

Noam Chomsky collects his hefty salary from MIT and lives quite comfortably in Cambridge, Massachusetts like a member of landed gentry in the Berkshires. Yet from his armchair he assails the very system from which he benefits.

Show me a neo-Marxist and I'll show you a hypocrite and an elitist.

Hey, we're singing your tune, Hugo Chavez.

Bet it's just a matter of time before he becomes a dictator like his hero, Fidel Castro.
