Other reasons, yes, but not that one. I think it is clear that radically changing Iraq is essential to beginning to get control of the anti-Americanism in the Mideast. The Anti-American sentiment basically took its roots in 1979, when Jimmy Carter allowed us to be run over by the Iranians. Even Reagan did not have an adequate response to the bombings in Beirut. There is an entire dynamic at work that would take a ton of writing to cover. But basically, we became an easy target and culturally, they will attack an easy target. The notion that it is all about the Palestinian issue is nonsense. Anyway, once we get a new government in Iraq, we're going to see a gradual reduction in the level of Anti-Americanism in the Mideast, and that is the ultimate solution to this problem.
