>>Cogito its not just "they hate us because we support Israel". And if we left Iraq and stopped supporting Israel tomorrow we would still have serious issues with Al Qaeda and their ilk. Its possible that each action could actually make the problems worse<<

Tim -

I'm well aware of that, and I didn't suggest that we alter our policies to suit Al Qaeda. That would be abhorrent.

We've definitely got a problem with those people. And it's definitely not a problem that we're going to be able to solve by hunting them all down and killing them all. Though I do think that a more concerted effort to catch Bin Laden and Zawahiri would have been useful. But no, we had to go after the paper tiger in Iraq.
