They exploit the fact that multiculturalism creates an allegiance to the mother country rather than to the country people re-settle to. People don't bomb their homes, they bomb other people's homes. They lived in England but their hearts were in Pakistan or somewhere else so why not bomb London? And you're right, terrorism is complicated. Regarding Bush, isn't it clear by now that Bush is clueless as to what's happening in this country, let alone the world? What I personally find annoying is when Hispanics who are here illegally get into a car accident and then sue the person they got into the accident with. Or take a job with a false SS number or no SS number and sue for injuries they sustain. Where do they get the nerve? They're here illegally, driving without a license, working without permission, making demands. They ignore the law, set themselves above it, then want protection from that very law. Also, one of the reasons immigration is restricted by any country is to keep diseases out. These immigrants just walk in, carrying their diseases with them. Sounds racist, doesn't it, to demand that people come into this country legally the way any other immigrants did and many still do.
