<<So make sure your choices for the Islamic "casus belli" are more than just the lame re-tread excuses about Israel>>

Just because YOU are tired of hearing it doesn't mean its not a big part of the problem. You're tired of hearing it because it conflicts with your ideology and anything that conflicts with that, you summarily dismiss. How you can think that our support of Israel has no part in this is quite amazing.

Our foreign policy, which in turn is guided by our dependance on oil is the sole reason for our targeting. What a shame all of that oil is buried under Arab lands. If that wasn't the case you and I wouldn't give two hoots about that part of the world.....kind of like how we deal with dictators that don't sit on top of or strategically near it. We do NOTHING.....its all about the $$$$$$. Follow the $$$$$$$$....

Its not because of our "way of life" or our "freedoms". It's not because the Koran says to kill all the infidels. It's not because of our longing for democracy to be bestowed upon these poor folks. These are the BS bogeymen that are fed to the moronic masses in the big red rectangular states (Dierks etc.) to justify the policies. Follow the $$$$$$$....

I still wonder why someone as fervent about militant islam as yourself focuses so little on the source of the majority of it.....Saudi Arabia.
