I work with a lot of Indians and Pakistanis (hey in software development they're thick as thieves) and for that matter people from various African countries. Some citizens, some not. And I've never heard any of them say one bad word about this country. No bitching 'bout racism. No spouting off about John Ashcroft or materialism or anything else. Now I wonder why not....?

Anyone who thinks there is any honor in such an act is definitely beyond help and should be imprisoned for life.

No question about that. But there're more to imprison than just the perps. The people who look the other way should have to join them.
