Mish, I can respect your opinion on so many things, but you are SO VERY WRONG on this issue and it saddens me that so many people like yourself can't fully grasp what's going on. The reality is that we're seeing a CIVIL WAR between the forces of moderation and progress and religious fanaticism/militancy. And the secular forces, due to their own corruption and lack of legal/political accountability, are losing the battle to the fundamentalists/Jihadists. Message 26213821 siliconinvestor.com I really feel you need to dedicate some time to researching the history of Islamic Militancy before you make any more of these kinds of posts. This is far too serious a challenge to be "pooh-poohed". Then maybe you'll understand that we're not talking about merely an economic struggle over resources, or philosophy. This is religious fanaticism and it's filling a gap left by the failure of economic and social progress in the Muslim world. MEMRI is a GREAT site for viewing the Jihadist proclamations of these militants in their own language (with translation): memri.org And Palestinian Watch is good to watch because Hamas represents many of the fundamental values of the Muslim Brotherhood (which is the basis of the Islamist Militant movement): palwatch.org palwatch.org It's all there for you to see. They don't hide their agenda, nor their belief that this is not just a "defensive war" but a global Jihad of religious conquest and that they feel entirely justified in killing non-Muslims. Watch this British Mullah and you'll soon see the kind of crap that these militant Muslims are spewing as religious belief: youtube.com And when you see how they are brainwashing the children that fall under their control, it's evident this is not going to go away anytime soon, nor does it truly have anything to do with our presence in the region. This is an internal issue within Islam, but it has external consequences for the entire world. And btw, I strongly support moderate forces within Islam and the Muslim world. We still have a majority of Muslims who are peaceful and moderate, but they need our support. I'm not anti-muslim. I'm opposed to religious militancy in all forms. No Supreme Being worthy of worship would want us to force others by force to believe a certain way. That said, I can agree to some extent that we have troops in far too many countries and we've subsidized the security of too many of our allies in the process. But we've also helped to insure regional stability and that's had a global economic benefit. Hawk
