What We Need Is a Mirror

[W]hen influential American “terrorism experts” start talking about [...] “Shock and Awe“, the assault on Fallujah and the bombing of Gaza as terrorism, and about Ronald Reagan as a “state sponsor of terrorism” for his funding of El Salvadoran death squads and Nicaraguan contras, and about the parties responsible for the assassination of Iranian civilian scientists as international terrorists, then I’ll start to take the honorific more seriously

[...]

[T]he mentality [in American citizens – and media personalities – that profiles Arabs as terrorists] finds nourishment in the constant discussion of Terrorism, the Supreme Evil, as: acts of violence by Muslims directed at us (but not violence by our own government or those of its allies directed at Muslims).

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
