<<Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Sunday that the world must start thinking about how to reduce the number of people who are becoming terrorists through teachings in radical Islamic schools and not just focus on killing or capturing them after they commit violent acts.>> No wonder why I like the guy besides him being from Illinois.

While Rumsfeld focused solely on radical Islamic madrassas as the breeding ground for the next generation of terrorists, he failed to include such things as the actions of U.S. troops in Iraq or their presence in other Muslim countries, which were recently used in a message by Osama bin Laden designed to recruit new terrorists. In a tape played over the Al-Jazeera TV network Oct. 18, bin Laden warned Iraqis not to cooperate with U.S. forces and urged young people in neighboring Arab countries to join a jihad, or holy war, against the Americans. Whether in response to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq or the urgings of bin Laden, the number of foreign terrorists entering Iraq has grown despite the increase of Iraqi border patrol forces. Of course the number of terrorists entering Iraq has grown. To expect anything less would be foolish. The war THEY STARTED has been brought to them. That has been the message I've heard from the administration and it is part of the plan. I was listening to a radio program today and the question was asked; "what if we gave obl and sh what they wanted."
