...oppression. There are lawless insurgents, both foreign and Iraqi, that the authorities must deal with. Why doesn't the U.S. just get out of the way? If we keep calling the conflict a war, the insurgents may gain strength by naming it "the American war." They will use that label to recruit Iraqis who hate...
...Christian values rather than aimed at Christian targets. That in turn led to a careful clarification by Benedict that the bombings represented "not a clash of civilizations, but only a small group of fanatics."

I think the public needs to learn more about Iraqi extremists. Few people ask why the bombers give up their lives. It's much easier to label those people as outcasts without trying to understand their position. I want to read more interviews with those militants. I know it's dangerous to gather information on the views of extremist individuals, but the stories the bombers tell are invaluable. Jeff Hayford Nashua, New Hampshire Suicide bombers can quote...
