I have a lot of respect for others to continue living. That's why I think the bombers are wrong. You are missing my point. THEY believe they are right, and they have a self-consistent (or mostly self-consistent, depending on the specific case) system based on their beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs can lead one to some horrible things. No doubt there are some people who espouse those beliefs but do not really believe them (they only use them for their own purposes). But I think it is fairly clear that the suicide bombers truly believe them; and I suspect quite a few others truly believe as well. Unquestioned beliefs can be a great evil, which is what William said and started the whole discussion. I guess it is a difficult concept to some people. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/
