<< It's about neutralizing radical Islam's fundamental challenge to Western civilization Terrorists do not represent Islam. They didn't challenge "our" civilization. They challenge our interventions in their civilization. Bin Laden wants the US out of the Middle East. He does not care anything about what western civilization does in its own hemisphere.>>> I like that word 'neutralizing', and the more the better. The Arabs did not invent the gas burning automobile nor the jet airplane. We produced inventions which the Arabs now can enjoy and in doing so converted that useless resource crude oil into a valuable product which if evenly distributed in Iraq would make each person a millionaire. In the 1920's oil was as low as ten cents per barrel in California and until very recently the natural gas was so invaluable it was burned off. So after the west has invented the x-ray machines, the CAT scanners, the iron lung, the heart operations, the cure for polio, and all kinds of medical treatments and vaccines, the terrorists have decided that all the Arabs who they falsely claim to speak for are willing to give up their autos and oil development work which Westerners are doing so they will have more time to enjoy poverty and pray in the dust?
