Clark Kent Ervin,
"To understand why reflexively associating terrorism with Arabs is ill advised, consider the arrests in Miami last week of seven men allegedly plotting to blow up the FBI headquarters there and the Sears Tower in Chicago. It may turn out, as the men's families and friends maintain, that they were merely harmless oddballs. But, if the government's allegations prove true, these men were Qaeda loyalists intent on waging a "ground war" against the United States in order to "kill as many devils" as possible."
