I don't know what to think of this post.
A lot of whats going on in Lebanon is because they aren't as civilized as us: A new democracy that can't force out partial control by forces outside of the government and within it because it is weak.
Its easy for us to sort out the wacka's (just kidding wacka) in our society, because we already have the capabilities and system of doing so.
Terrorists in the US don't have much of an effect, and much of an incentive, due to that. People like Eric Rudolph, Ted Kaczynski (who I still think looks like George Clooney), Terry Nichols, etc are nuts, and I'm sure that theres a bunch more whackos in the US. If they were over in a middle eastern country, you could bet that they'd be having a bunch more impact then they had here in the US.
