I'm not worried about the bombs. I'm worried about the two viles of smallpox that still exist. I mean honestly, why keep those around? And get this, one is held in Georgia, and the other....in Russia (under USSR). But when the USSR went under, there has been a rumor that the vile has gone missing. Of course no one can confirm this (if it were true I am sure the gov. would try to keep it under wraps just to keep everyone from worrying), but what if.....

The radioactivity of a dirty bomb are very small indeed but:
Do you remember the story about American soldiers being exposed to radiation in the gulf war ?
The radiation came from Uranium coated bullets (for armor piercing) that upon impace released a tiny radioactive charge.
When you shoot thousands of these, you get some 'nice' radioactivity all over the place.
Now let's forget about cancer and look at something less fatal but as irritating, who'd like to be sterile for the rest of his life ?

Just out of fear of misconception i realy hope that all of you here dont belive that ALL arabs are terorists.... Because the people who are terrorists are really not as numerous as the media would like them to be, and are generaly not well accepted by other arabs regardless of the arab opinion over the Middle East crisis."They say that dreams are real only as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?"

SpiralDragon,
Terrorists are first and foremoset terrorists. Only then they are anythign else.
We all know how fundamentalists kill their own people in Algeria and other places.
The problem is that the largest religion worldwide also has the largest number of fundamental fanatic followers

No not all terrorists are Arabs but all terrorists have one thing in common. They don't care who they kill. They target civilans who can be from any nation. They even kill the people they claim to be fighting for.
If I go and post about bombings in Ireland there's no way I mean that all Irish are Terrorists.

they do... but the numbers are over rated... what I am worried about is, being an Arab my self, that if I go to the west I would be considered as a terrorist just because I am an Arab... and not all Arabs are Muslims, and not all Muslims are of the same sect, i.e. not everyone agrees with what is happening..... I don’t like what the Israelis are doing to the palliations but then again I don’t think the Palestinians are going about the resistance the right way... there need not be bloodshed, regardless of whose fault it is.... in my opinion, warring countries are always at fault..... some more than others but, some less... but at the end of the day war/terrorism is wrong...... what I would like to see is countries fight virtual wars over a network of computers instead of the real thing..... or fight it out over intellectual ideas and debates but never bring it close to real war.... then again utopias can never be what they should.. I lived most of my childhood through the Lebanese civil war.... the Israeli invasion... the liberation war etc.... and believe me it aint fun.... not knowing if you are going to live to see the next day every day.... with all due respect Dogbert, you in Israel have not lived the terror we have here in Lebanon for over a decade..... Even after the war in the 1993 Israeli attacks and the 1996 Grapes of Wrath... Not to mention all the internal tension and the Syrian presence.... the majority of Lebanese are screwed any way you look at it just because bin laden decided to be a major ass… but his actions should not reflect on all Arabs…. We are not terrorist, just like not all Jews are Arab killers and oppressors…. Just because we are culturally different doesn’t mean we are not human too… or that we don’t sympathies with the victims of terrorism …. Terrorism and War are the same thing with a different name, don’t let any one fool you into believing otherwise. And don’t believe all that you see on TV the media has a tendency to over exaggerate the Arab public response…. The media shows you the bad stuff about us that they want you to see and they don’t show you the good stuff about us and that saddens me because it leaves a cultural gap between the eastern world the western world that will be hard to change.
I hope I have not offended any one, and if I did, know that I did not intend it to be so."They say that dreams are real only as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?"

i hope that this is true... but my impression from most Hollywood movies is that Arabs are stereotyped as, terrorists, evil people, barbarians, uncivilized etc...."They say that dreams are real only as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same thing about life?"

True... Terrorists are a bunch of liars just like any warring country is also a liar..... all I am saying is be more aware of the real facts ... nothing justifies terrorism and nothing justifies war.... we have thousands of years of history as earthlings, we have come such a long way in terms of innovation, culture, medicine and technology but still we have not learned how to effectively make peace before we bash each others skulls open....... its sad... its very sad...."They say that dreams are real only as long as they last.

You wouldn't be considered as an terrorist.

You'll be surprised to find out that most people in the west don't think all Muslims are terrorists either. It's just a small number that mess it up for everyone.

Nope you haven't.
