| Bad Guys blow tanker at fuel depot |
| 2002-05-23 |
| A bomb attached to a tanker truck exploded Thursday at Israel's biggest fuel depot in what police said was likely a Palestinian terror attack. The blast ripped through the driver's cabin and sent fuel pouring onto the tarmac, but the fire was quickly extinguished and no one was hurt. The explosive charge had been planted on the underside of a tanker truck used for transporting diesel fuel. The tanker had just entered the depot to take on a load of fuel when the bomb went off and the vehicle caught fire, destroying the driver's cabin. This goes far toward proving my contention that what we're fighting against isn't a religion, or even a culture, but a mind set. The difference between the goobers that set this and Beavis and Butthead who were convicted in California isn't that one bunch wears dish towels and the other baseball caps (on backwards, of course). The difference is that this one went off and that one didn't. And that difference is purely accidental. |

| #1 "what we're fighting against isn't a religion, or even a culture, but a mind set." Thanks. That's the phrase I needed (yes, I did credit you -- and linked!) |
