If you do a search on Yahoo! News Pictures today for "sweets" the top 4 results illustrate almost perfectly the root cause of terror - and it aint poverty or oppression.

This dehumanisation of the victim -- stripping them of their entire humanity, along with glorification of previous suicide bombers and hateful religious propaganda is what creates tomorrow's warriors of Jihad.

There are no words. These are the people we are supposed to make peace with.
Hi Steve
There is a more important issue here than just the pictures that came up and the problems of the people in them. A recent report in the Jpost http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1202211059878&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull takes a brief look at the "virtual war" with Israel on web. It makes facinating if rather scarery reading. The sweet search is just a small battle in a much larger theatre of conflict. As a blogger who is actively engaged in this battle you may find it interesting.
