Hi folks. **gum** , I just popped in to tell you that you’re wanted over in GD to explain why the Dutch are so [liberal and tolerant](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286212).

Actually, when I write a post that uses big words you don’t understand, that highlights _your_ ignorance, not mine.

Of course, I can see how you’d be unable to tell the difference. What with you being ignorant, and all. So I’m not taking your comment personally.

The bombing of the USS Cole was not arbitrary at all. It is actually considered as a _turning point_ in the recent history of terrorism. The frequency of terrorist actions has been increasing at a steady rate since the late 80s-early 90s, but after the USS Cole attack there has been an exponential increase in terrorist attacks.

But what do I know? I am just a xenophobic bigot :rolleyes:
