Terrorism comes in many forms:

NOT ONE, NOT a SINGLE ONE of the missing persons cases or murdered tourists in Aruba has EVER been solved. NO missing person has EVER been found.

NOT ONE, NOT a SINGLE ONE of the missing persons cases or murdered tourists in Aruba has EVER been solved. NO missing person has EVER been found.

Yet American travel guides, travel magazines and newspaper articles feature Aruba and urge Americans to travel there. The words "stupid tourist" have exceptional meaning in Aruba. The words "missing and probably dead tourist" have even greater meaning there.

Snip: Aruba, Forward Operating Location - The U.S. has a small presence in Aruba, with two medium and three small aircraft, about fifteen permanently assigned staff and twenty to twenty-five temporarily deployed operations and maintenance personnel.

Snip: Aid to Aruba: 26 million (1995); the Netherlands provided a $127 million aid package to Aruba and Suriname in 1996

Don't give terrorists the rise in status. Terrorists are criminals to be sure. But not all criminals are terrorists. I know very few criminals who murder in the thousands for their religion. I know very few criminals whose government sanctions their actions, let alone the governments of other countries. I know very few criminals who are cultivated from birth to do the deeds they perpetrate.....
