<<While the Israeli-Palestinian war is of course important to the US's national interests, much more important to us is the war on terrorism fought against OBL and his ilk, who hope to use the Palestinian problem as a sideshow and a diversion to keep the focus away from them.

By the same token, I think that the Palestinian problem is itself a sideshow to OBL and his pals. His focus is clearly the US and its "defilement" of the Arabian Peninsula.>>

Emphatically agree.

Actually, I think that the goal of "OBL and his pals" is eventually to capture political power in their respective countries. They are old-fashioned extremists-revolutionaries in a new and pretty ugly incarnation.
