    So you are in favor of tolerating terrorism? Would you have responded to the
    Sept. 11 attacks? If so, how?

    We must concern ourselves with them as much as the usanian children who are
    taught that 'terrorists' (non US ones that is) are all mindless evil
    cowards who deserve to die.
    These are both erroneous cultural constructions which may threaten the
    survival of our species. IF we have evolved, surely we should avert both
    threats and not just suppress one as irrelevant.
