"he appears to be trying very hard to start a world war" I doubt that is his view at all. There are vast differences in political, religious and national culture in this case -- and other things as well no doubt. I expect that when this guy goes to bed at night he thinks of himself as fighting in "self-defence". If many Japanese can still cling to the notion that they attacked Pearl Harbor in self-defence, I can assure you that somebody portraying himself as the liberator of the Palestinians and the Saudis, etc. will have no problem coming up with a terrific rationale for mass murder -- terrific from his perspective. My view is that mass murder is not something you want to get busy justifying -- no matter what ends you seek, it is still mass murder and there is nothing holy or noble or righteous about it. And it cuts both ways -- we cannot say that we only engage in mass murder when we have a darn good reason -- everybody always says they have a darn good reason, and it just makes you a less-than honorable person. I think what we can be proud of is that we have had the means of mass-murder and not used them -- that is such an extraordinary accomplishment, and for that we should be very, very proud indeed. That is what makes us "right". And that is why we will win.
