And the "you're either with America or with the terrorists" stance.

   If the American government was to seriously pursue the policy of 
"taking out" the state sponsor of terrorists too, then it might as
well have launched the attack on the Pentagon itself.

   Bin Laden is but the latest in a _long_ line of American backed
terrorists who over-extended their counter insurgency brief. That
the support, training and financing of such terrorists when useful
was also 'undemocratic' and an attack on the 'free world' is
forgotten.

   Atrocities equal to and surpassing in scale that of Sept 11th
litter the history books. And American foreign policy has often been
the protagonist.
