Reply #93: How much damage have they REALLY caused???

I mean, let's do a death toll of the damage they've caused.

Then, by comparison, let's look at the death toll of just the US actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I would bet dollars to donuts that you'd find a higher death toll from US actions as opposed to al Qaeda actions. Then tell me what the real source of violence in the world is.

Perhaps if the US were to drastically change its policies, and start placing more of an emphasis on justice and human rights than on wealth-accumulation and hegemony, that 1% would quickly become 0.1%, then 0.01%, and so on... until it was completely negligible.

And on a side note, over 1 million people have been killed in Rwanda over the past 10 years, yet I don't hear the same kind of hand-wringing over the perpetrators of those acts as I hear over al Qaeda. Perhaps if the victims were white, there would be more of an uproar....
