Re: US attacks Arab states, and they hit back at the targets they can reach - which is Old (your 'New') , soon to be glow in the dark Europe...

Well, that is not to surprise me... We all know that life is unfair --whether towards individuals or countries or peoples as a whole. Again, take the Madrid bombings: what was its prime motive? Well, whoever the perpetrator, Spain was allegedly hit because of her participation to the US crusade in Iraq. But was/is Spain ALONE in joining the US in Iraq? What about the UK? Italy? Poland? Denmark? Bulgaria? You name it. And what about the US itself? If those terrorist attacks were really about disrupting the occupation of Iraq, it would have made more sense for the terrorists to blow up five trains in Washington instead of Madrid, would it not?

Yes, of course, it would --it's just that Madrid/Spain was an easier target... Spain was the weakest link. And just like the powerful American bully keeps attacking weaker countries (Vietnam, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq,...), the other side aims at small game also.
