It _did_ have something to do with terrorism:  It greatly increased its
likelihood.  Criticizing Scheer's crap doesn't mean endorsing the unilateral
U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.  I suppose that doesn't register with Israel
supporters like you.

The answer to this disaster has always been the same:  Cracking down,
legally and internationally, and including radical policy change as well as
policing, on _all_ the assholes peddling racism and religious war.
