<<You want figures? I cited the Pew poll, available in its entirety on the Web. Why should I spoon feed you data, you can look it up yourself.>>

My oh my, we're getting testy today! The reason I asked you to back up your claim with data was that you're so sure you're correct that I figured you'd have the link to back up your claim, but obviously you don't. I've tried to find the data you speak of and it's not there however I did notice that in a recent poll conducted, almost half of Americans believe that the war in Iraq has increased the threat of terrorism around the world.

<<So, attack to spread values must be done by the army of a nation-state before we get upset? The nation was Afghanistan, which shared the values under the Taliban and hosted OBL and his training camps>>

Again, you're wrong......Al Qaeda, a terrorist organisation attacked us, not Afghanistan. Spin it whatever way you want.

<<Do you begin to get a clue as to where the real heart of the problem lies?>>

No, but I'm sure it all lies with the Arabs 'cause it certainly can't be the Israelis.
