I think it's drummed into our heads that terrorists = arabs.
The fact is that American policies are pissing middle easterners.
If your plane gets hijacked by terrorists, odds are pretty damn good they're going to be people from the middle east. That's pretty much the history of it, isn't it? When was the last time an American was executed by a terrorist that wasn't from the middle east?
I'm right there with you in saying racism is bad, but facts are facts. Right now you're a hell of a lot more likely to get hijacked by people from Saudi Arabia than by people from France.
