Terrorism as a political tool must be stomped on by all civilized nations' governments or we will slip back into the age of walled cities and communities - the Dark Ages. I have always included these terrorists in South America or Africa whenever I have spoken at length to people about AlQ and the Islamist terrorist threat. If any of them are allowed to dictate to established governments by using terrorist activities to gain influence, eventually even groups like "Right to Life" and "Amnesty International" and "Democrat Party" will start to question whether they ought to use similar tactics.

Terrorism is very dangerous to civilization - and in fact, may be the ultimate danger.

Interesting that China/Argentina trade is going on while this happens? Can it be that the 2 events are tied somewhat together? It is no coincidence but someone somewhere is sending a loud clear message.

DOBBS: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is warning of the threat of terrorists entering this country through the same routes as those used by illegal aliens. Secretary Rumsfeld, traveling in South America, warned that enemies look for weaknesses and take advantage of them.

DONALD RUMSFELD: The risk is that some of these human-smuggling routes into our country from this hemisphere could be used just as easily for terrorists. ~snip~
