Paul, it is precisely this kind of fatuous comparison that legitimizes the 
ongoing murders. The US didn't keep the (mostly Saudi) Al Qaeda murderers in 
an outhouse. According to Bin Laden, the US crime was maintaining an Air 
Force Base in the Saudi desert.

But I won't continue with this argument. If you can't see how phony and false 
that comparison is, nothing I say will change your mind.
