The republican right wing has the same addiction.

Usually, you'd associate militarism with, well.. military people. But the most militant talk is coming from people who've never been shot at.

Well, we just need to start getting people to associate any sort of fanatical belief system with terrorism. Look at Timothy McVeigh, Waco, etc. And the Jerry Falwell types are little different than osama that way.
