Be afraid, America. Be very afraid
We have met the enemy, and, all too often, he looks like us.

The United States has spent breathtaking sums since September 11 to assure that people who look like Mohammed Atta don't walk onto airplanes, take thousands of innocent lives, and destroy embodiments of the nation's majesty.

But what if the terrorist you're looking for is not an Arab, not a Muslim, not swarthy and foreign-born and, yes, alien?

What if he looks and acts the way Americans used to believe that real Americans were supposed to look: cool, quiet, Christian and, yes, white?
