...America's enemies in this war. I saw their face in the blood and fire of the World Trade Center, and it is the face of pure evil. Those suicide bombers don't need to be understood. They need to be eradicated. Lewis B. Smith Greenville, Texas, U.S. The Jihadist suicide bomber and his like are cowardly egocentrics.

Muslims from Britain, France, Germany and elsewhere--along with several thousand from Arab countries--have traveled to Iraq to fight in what has become a theater of inspiration for the jihadist drama of faith. A handful are known to have trickled back to Europe already.
