Does the media play into our fears?
#33
Well based on the essence of 9-11 I did expect a lot more posts about it, I think you did well to keep it to a minimum like I asked thank you.

It is true that I will become a cop and hopefully into narcotics and that I will have to rely on some hunches more then once. But if I am wrong, the worst case is that I prove to myself I am wrong and I go follow another lead or hunch.

I will use a crime analogy because I think crime and terrorism is quite similar, especially with the responses to it. So far what the US is doing is like what a home owner living in fear would do. They would bar their windows, get expensive security systems, guard dogs, and would buy a firearm. It seems that people are ok with having criminals at their doorstep wanting to get in to hurt or steal from you, rather then being able to walk freely outside. Wouldn’t you prefer that criminals and terrorists didn’t exist? So you don’t need to stop everyone with a beard and a hat for questioning? My god you are one step away from detaining santa because of a beard and bizarre headwear. This is not a world I want to live in. I want to go to Jerusalem because of its incredible spiritual significance, history and beauty.

Tak what you are suggesting is mass genocide on a larger scale then what happened in Germany in the 30's and 40's. Let’s look for a second on why Hitler did that, he felt that the Jews were the problem in Germany and pointed the finger at them. Just like what you just did. The US is so concerned about terrorism and blames a majority of the problems on terrorism. Like what happened in Germany, now you are suggest killing millions of them. I can’t and will not live in a world like that. It is unacceptable to think that killing on any level will accomplish any good, we just try to justify it to ourselves so we don’t have to feel guilt.

Essentially you want to kill them for their beliefs, no matter how extreme, it is a belief. You are just as extreme now.
