I got your point and it was very well made. However, no one in this country wants to invest the time in even attempting to understand another group, culture, or individual. They're too concerned with whether Trista and Ryan stay together than with foreign affairs. And the politicians just do whatever makes them a quick buck or lines their pockets with even more gold.
It's depressing.

And why, exactly, should I try and understand the logic behind flying planes filled with innocent people into buildings filled with innocent people?
I understand other cultures and groups of people just as well as anyone else here. In fact, I am one of the more tolerant people that I know. But I cannot defend or even rationalize the kind of actions that result from following fundamentalist Islam. It is the great evil of our century...like it or not.
Just my two cents.
