Scary, isn't it. It could be anyone, anywhere. 

What makes me sick is this, which came from 
http://www.komotv.com/story7.htm, a local news station here. I really 
really REALLY hope it isn't true. Any sympathy I ever had for Palestinians 
is GONE. I, personally, have never supported either side. And never will, I 
imagine. 

"Arafat Says He's Horrified

But Palestinians celebrate in the streets. NABLUS, West Bank Thousands of 
Palestinians celebrated Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States, 
chanting "God is Great" and distributing candy to passers-by, even as their 
leader, Yasser Arafat, said he was horrified. 

The U.S. government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank and 
Gaza Strip in the past year of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, with many 
Palestinians accusing Washington of siding with Israel. 

In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street 
shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and 
government targets in Washington. 

Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. 
Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried 
Palestinian flags."

-Allie, thinking of moving to Wyoming. Surely there's nothing in Wyoming of 
interest to terrorists, internal or external. <sigh>
