I have always had this inkling that "political correctness" is some form of cowardice.  Euphemism does not change facts.  It just sugarcoats them with varying layers of subtlety.

Seven years ago, on the year of the real beginning of this millennium, crazy people changed the world.  Being brave enough to die for your beliefs is one thing and it invokes admiration, but taking innocents with you is just plain wrong in much the same way that hunting game as a sport is evil.  The consequences of their decisions have lead to much perennial discomfort in many areas beside the immediate fatalities during the events themselves.

Terrorism is a malignant mutation of altruism.  All that misguided effort could be spent healing this planet.  Instead, it is used to fanatically or methodically satisfy the egos of their leaders and comrades.

Communism is cool until you realize that for all of its benefits, you will be sacrificing your freedom to err.
