If there were no oil in Afghanistan, do you really think that the U.S. would not have gone to war after an attack on our home soil of the magnitude of September 11th? It's often a mistake to think that someone's actions are driven by only one motivation.

<< Palestinian Jews, Palestinian Christians and Palestinian Muslims (all of them Arabs) have been living side by side in peace for over a thousand years! >> On what planet? << It's when a bigger force comes in under the banner of religion to step in, take over, and kick out whomever they wish... >> On this, I might agree with you. The huge Arab forces, screaming "God is Great" attacked the emaciated Jewish remnants of the Holocaust and WWII. Now the Palestinian terrorists, with the backing of racist Arab dictatorships are trying to destroy the only democracy in the Middle East. << it's all about politics, power, greed, land, etc. >> I agree. All the Jews want, is to live in peace. You reasons explain why the Palestinians and the Arab nations want to destroy Israel. << do you think that the bush administration really cares about Afghan women and children? >> Yes. George W. Bush is a gifted man of principle and ethics. America is very fortunate to have such a great man as President, especially in these dangerous times. God speed President Bush with his War on Terrorism!
