Palestinian folk were interested in having a democracy Bernard Lewis, in his "Booknotes" interview today, said the main reason Ben Ladin attacked us was because we stationed "infidel troops" in Arabia. He said that Israel was about reason number four, and had got that high only recently. He also said that Ben Ladin figured the attack would make us fold because we were too cowardly to fight the Arabs. Ben Ladin's reasons for this was our retreats from Vietnam, Lebanon. and Somalia. (Read "BlackHawk Down", or see the movie for a good look at our lousy leadership there.) He says that the Arabs had always feared Russia more than us. It was interesting to hear that he believes, that the Arabs believe, that they are responsible for the winning the cold war because they defeated Russia in Afghanistan. He says that the only way out is for us to stay tough and get ever tougher.
