Again, this is you saying it, not me. I have neither called anyone a 
towelhead nor dehumanized anyone other than those who go out of their way to 
murder innocents.
I see a bias here and I hate to say it but it's on your part. You only see 
things from a point of the government, bush or whoever else in America being 
wrong. You can not and have not looked at it from a point of someone other 
than us being wrong. You accept that the murders are bad but bring it back 
to blaming us for upsetting the Muslims. I see a bias and I really don't 
think you're willing to see past Iraq and Bush.

>>Waaaaait a minute here. You're the only person here who said anything

>>No, someone doesn't get up in the morning and say he's going to blow up
