this threat to kill every American by Muslim extremist terrorists

Believing that this is their ultimate goal is seeing the world in black and white only. They are attacking us for much more complicated reasons than the naive belief that they want us all dead.

Still, if you do believe they want us all dead, you need to ask youself, "Self, WHY do they want us all dead?" It's NOT that they hate our freedom. It's NOT that we aren't just like them.

You also need to ask youself, "What makes someone a 'terrorist'?"

The right constantly falls back on the "They hate us" and "They want to see us all killed" argument -- all the while keeping the real, historical, underlying reasons unspoken.

You can bomb and hunt down and try to eradicate terrorist by using force and military might. That may make us safer in the short-term. But you can't honestly believe is will make a constructive difference for subsequent generations. Safety by force is illusory. If someone wants to do us great damage, they will find a way.
