I fail to see any reasonable grounds for "many" Arabs to feel rage at the US. Please enlighten me. We've done _nothing_ to justify such an emotion. > Violence is another thing entirely, but the rage that's completely > understandable. Once again, I see exactly the opposite. Virtually powerless on their own, it is understandable that they would resort to terror directed against the biggest SYMBOL they can find: the US. They struck against the most powerful nation on the planet - and can enjoy the knowledge that they actually _won_ the first battle. Unfortunately for them, they are unlikely to win another battle - and they certainly will lose the war, "holy" or not. But rage? No. Rage is a very personal thing - and effective only on a one-to-one basis. It can diminish the effect of acts of war. No... I'm afraid that rage - especially misplaced rage - is without logic of any type. - John T.
