Yes, the Islamic view of the west is not good but that doesn't stop them from wanting the exact same things the west does - a job, a nice place to live, health care, education for their children. The majority of Islam doesn't want to live under the fear of the morals police. They want freedoms. Bin Laden has exposed the radical movement for the dead-end which it is. Even the Saudis now recognize this and are turning away from it.

What you have seen lately is the turning point brought about by an extreme. From this point radical Islam is now on the decline. If the U.S. can help provide opportunity to those living in Iraq or Palestine or Afghanistan, then this great pool of terrorists will be more concerned with bettering their lives.

Read the survey on Iran in this weeks economist. Clearly, the path has changed.
