You obviously dont undertsand whats happening here:

You said, ". Bin Laden and his ilk have search for and found a downtrodden constituency, some uneducated and unfed, but many well-educated and middle-class but radicalized for their own unknown reasons....."

This is a worldwide Islamic Jihad!. or Holy War to drive the Infidel from the land.

Americans, Jews, Christians; we are all their enemy wherever and however we live.

Attempts to reason with their barbaric world view is like trying to get a wild tiger to become your pet;
your skin will be eaten right off your shocked face

Well, I draw the line at those things, which seem extreme and barbaric.

Will they seem so after they have been used against us?

I think it is largely about freedom and our American values.

So why did Bin Laden fight the Soviets?
