If you are worried about terrorist - then you darn well better make an attempt to understand why they hate us so. Ron Paul has this one right. BY continuing to create terrorist - which is what our policy is now doing - it becomes an ever increasing problem.

Steve, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not hatred of our policies that most angers the radical islamists. They hate us so because we are kaffir (or kuffar, in another spelling) -- unbelievers. The goal of radical islam is to spread islam far and wide. It's about restoring the Caliphate. We are in their way and must be converted, subjugated or killed. No amount of making nice with the radical islamists will work with them.

Suggest you read some of Bernard Lewis's books if you have any interest in the topic. I'd recommend you start with "The Crisis of Islam - Holy War and Unholy Terror."

Cheers.
