yes there are terrorists,American who with their twisted logic would hurt and kill fellow Americans or others...but do not lump them in the same pile as Islamic terrorists.While Oklahoma,Columbine,Viginia Tech are intolerable they are either individuals or small groups while Islamic terrorists are a major element across the world.
As I have said besides however you feel about why Iraq,Americans are not purposely targeting civilians while the Islamic insurgents are.Bombs set of in a market place are not done by coaliton forces.Please do not say that American soldiers are responsible for the murder (insert number) of Iraqi civilians.
