Hi KLP, If you have not read this article I highly recommend you put it on your reading list. It's a long piece so I posted it in four parts. --fl :o) Message 17498211 Somebody Else's Civil War (1/4) Michael Scott Doran Foreign Affairs, Jan/Feb 2002, v81, n1 SUMMARY Osama bin Laden's attacks on the United States were aimed at another audience: the entire Muslim world. Hoping that U.S. retaliation would unite the faithful against the West, bin Laden sought to spark revolutions in Arab nations and elsewhere. War with America was never his end; it was just a means to promote radical Islam. The sooner Washington understands this, the better its chances of winning the wider struggle.
