Carranza2:

Discovering simplicity in the complex is often wise, isn't it…

You say: “There is no linkage between the two conflicts except that created by the fuzzy-headed and the gullible”.

Many would disagree. Didn’t you hear claims that the attack against us is to be blamed on our “foreign policy”? Don’t get me wrong, I think such claims are not much more than manipulative garbage.

My impression is that it is the same cast of players – the International Soldiers of Jihad – that you may find in Al Qaeda, in Chechnya, in the Middle East and elsewhere. Soon after September 11 I found several Web sites that amply demonstrated that. Many of these sites were later shot down, but I saved a sample:

BTW, did you read the rest of my post?

And… thanks for replying. I already thought that I was writing down a one way street… ;-)

>>There is no linkage between the two conflicts

That's your opinion, and I strongly disagree. If there were no Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there would have been no Al Qaeda.

The extreme Arab frustration and rage created by repeated defeats and humiliation at the hands of the Israelis (and their US allies) is the key reason of why Al Qaeda exists today.
