Jongar, though I don't entirely agree with your original post, I do appreciate the thoughtful spirit of the way you posted it. Quite a contrast to some of the stuff I am hearing on talk radio. (And now, I will move into a little more sarcastic mode.)

It occurs to me that since we are discussing racial profiling, maybe we should go back to the old-time racial categories. If we do that, surprisingly we see the real connection. Both the Okla City event and the WTC event were carried out by Caucasian males. At last, we see the connection. All Caucasian males are suspect. There is such an obvious connection...how could we have missed it. We were thinking of skin color...how dumb, McVeigh and the Suicide pilots don't appear to have the same skin color. We were thinking of citizenship...no connection there. But when you factor in "gender" and "broad racial category," it is clear. There is a huge Caucasian Male plot. In fact, I see it now, these talk shows hosted by Caucasian Males deriding the Arab Americans are part of the subterfuge. Designed to confuse us. Designed to throw us off the track. Don't you see?

It really is extremely helpful to use these categories to help solve the puzzle.
