Have you considered at all that many of them [Arab Muslims] might think that there's lots of blood money over all the oil, and the heavy appetite of the US to get this oil, no matter what?

Remember, Al Qaeda grew when US troops landed in Saudi Arabia. That became a huge selling point for recruitment. So now US troops are in Iraq, and it's not like Iraq doesn't also have holy ground for Muslims. Give it your best guess: Think any recruiting's going on for future terror?

And here's the best question to put next to that one: How successful have we been at taking drug dealers off the street? Is it true that every time we do another assumes the same role?

Here's something else to think about: Don't you think the Palestinians would have run out of suicide-bombers by now?

If you think Bush's military is going to take out a fundamentalist-growing movement replete with religious fervor, I'd have to say you're fooling yourself.

A wise American leader would use other tools, ones without all of the death and destruction that Bush is now employing. One where Gold Star Mothers are not created!!!
