About this I wholly agree with William.
The threat of a backlash towards American innocents of Arab descent is all 
too real.
It's Pearl Habour all over again, minus an identified responsible party.

Collateral damage may create the breeding ground for new and more dangerous 
terrorism, springing directly from American soil.
