How could it when the US used its power to prop up the monarchies who kept the riches from the resources and the people subservient? There's blood money in that oil! So when US soldiers tread on what's considered in the fundamentalist religious world holy ground, there then exists a sense of anger, of hatred against the Americans. And it was this anger, this hatred that Al Qaeda used to recruit its membership. How about if we do this: 1) Apologize to the Arab World for invading Iraq, that our invasion was too rash in the aftermath of 9/11, and had more to do with politics than common sense. 2) Immediately put the controls over Iraq into the hands of the UN; have the UN set up the election timetable; have the UN rid America of its grave and gathering conflicts of interests relative to the oil and rebuilding; have America as quickly as possible withdraw its military forces to be supplanted with credible UN forces. 3) Announce, sponsor and heavily fund massive worldwide ethnic diversity forums where we find more things in common and identify the things that keep us apart ... and, from this, work for the common good. 4) Announce that America is campaigning for global worker rights. Make nuts and bolts economic decisions throughout the world, decisions which help the many instead of the few. 5) Ask for them to pray with us for our victims and offer to pray with them for their victims. I predict that Arab Muslims seeing America doing this will be less likely to want to destroy America and what it is supposed to stand for. The tools of wisdom and education, the proper strategy, are better in this chess game than is the militaristic policy of fear, death and destruction that's today impacting nations far and wide. Whenever I see a headline saying we killed or captured an Al Qaeda member I get nothing from it. Mostly because I know, due to America's militaristic actions, that another terrorist will take their place. Please do go back and reread my three points in my previous post. Because it's a breath of fresh air. What I wrote in that post is sensible--it is common sense! Killing people, taking away civil liberties and defying human rights is not the proper course for America, a country that prides itself on liberty and freedom for all. What we are now doing under the Bush Administration has nothing to do with liberty and freedom for all.
