but you forgot about one thing: race.

The fact that the adversaries we now face [both in Iraq and Islamic terrorism as a whole] are primarily the "brown" people fuels the fires as well. Race and racism is a central theme in all modern leftist dogma and therefore anyone who is not caucasian is automaticly given a moral carte blanche to do what they want.
