<< I said removing US troops from SA might help to reduce tension in the region. It is one of the things that OBL has cited as a reason to kill Americans...>> As i recall, in Woodward's book on the first gulf war he said that Bush and his advisors had concluded they could remove Saddam from Kuwait with or with out war. They chose war because that was the only way they could justify permanent bases in Saudi Arabia, permanent military bases in the region being a desired goal in their view. Yet it's these very bases that have been the genesis for OBL and so many attacks against Americans. Steve
