It never ceases to amaze me when people like Ms. Almontaser say the Sept. 11 attacks were our own fault because of US policies. Its funny I never hear it suggested the Oklahoma City bombing was the government's fault resulting from its policies in dealing with Randy Weaver in Idaho and David Koresh in Waco, Tx. The only thing we heard was that Timothy McVeigh was a mentally unbalanced, right-wing, militia- member, Christian nut. It was his fault and his fault alone. Now he is the exception that makes the rule when dealing with issues like the ethnicity and religion of the vast majority of terrorists, "Oh no, not all terrorists are Arab Muslims, why, look at Timothy McVeigh." Now she wants to open an Arabic language school, with taxpayer dollars no less. Great! Let's continue to finance the Balkanization of America. What is the Arabic word for "insanity?"
