Clinton on Larry King said the same thing you are saying and that is the root cause and the secret to successfully fighting the scourge of terrorism is to address the issue of and find a solution to the Israeli-Palestenian conflict. Force those war mongers in Israel such as Sharon and Scharansky to come to the table to negotiate peace. Choke off Israel if they refuse to negotiate peace. We have built the monster of Israel and as the events of the past few days proves, this monster will eat off the US some day not only by having spies in the Pentagon but spies in our own communities and neighborhoods.

Clinton's peace work came later as I recall. And I think this is dead wrong: ..Palestine and Israel. If he had succeeded, I doubt we would be seeing the Iraq quagmire today or even have had experienced 9/11. If there were no Israel/Palestine conflict, there still would have been an Iranian revolution, a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan with US and Pakistani support for those resisting the Soviets, Saddam would still have been an aggressive war-mongering threat to the region, Iran and Iraq would still have fought a war, Saddam would still have invaded Kuwait, we would have pushed him out, he'd want WMD's to realize his imperial neo-Babylonian empire ambitions, etc. etc. In other words, without the Israel/Palestine conflict the ME would be pretty much the same - one less conflict but all the others.
