Irrational Behaviour

Terrorists are not dumb. The general public is, however. The bad guys in real life are not like the bad guys in movies. You can't tell what they look like. Evil is cunning. Evil is smart. Terrorists planning to bring down airplanes will not board the airplanes and act suspicious. They won't mumble to themselves and act crazy. They will do their best to blend in. If they're Arabic, they will do their best not to look Arabic. They will dress in western clothing that is suited to a casual business person. They won't go out of their way to look like a thug. They will avoid arousing suspicion.

The world we live in is now fearful of the Arabic terrorists portrayed in movies. Recently, the passengers aboard a British flight demanded two Asian men removed from the plane -- and refused to fly on the plane unless the men were taken off. Apparently, one woman was fearful of the two men, as she heard them speaking in what sounded like Arabic. The fear then spread. People were not hysterical. They just walked off the plane and refused to get back on until the men were removed. They were removed, checked by security again and spent an overnight at the airport. They caught another plane the following day.

Congratulations Tony Blair. Congratulations George Bush. Congratulations Israel. The terrorists have won. We live in terror.
