>When some Mullah in the Middle East tells his followers that the U.S. is the direct cause of all that is evil and wrong in their society, does it really make it acceptable to you because maybe he didn't throw a pie?

I think the Mullah's have done a little more than throw pies. I believe they have been inciting their followers to become martyrs. I never heard Falwell say anything like that. Maybe, I've been around so many really "uncivil" people that I have a totally different take on civility than you.
