It is true that in total numbers that terrorists are somewhat "limited." Looking back to 1983, there was the terrorist bombing that took over two hundred U.S. Marines lives in Lebanon. Many of today's modern day terrorists were infants at that time, or were not even born. Where did they come from? Terrorists will continue to be trained, and will still be killing via suicide attacks twenty years from now. And twenty years after that! They are not in unlimited supply in total present numbers, but in future terms, they have no limits.

This statement is what I disagree with. I don't believe more than a small percentage of the population can be persuaded to engege in pure evil - like deliberately taking the lives of innocent children.

I don't mean to imply that those few, given the proper support and lack of will by the good can't cause incredible damage - just that they really are overwhelmingly outnumbered by the good.
