Well, first off, there are no terrorists in Chile, Argentina, or China that are trying to kill as and want an end to the US.

Yet.. There weren't any Arab terrorists who wanted to kill Americans back when oil was discovered. But valuable resources equate to power and money.. and those equate to ambition for those who control them.


Absolutely, but I'd much rather be dealing with a terrorist who cares about his own life, rather than a Muslim terrorist who would gladly commit suicide to take one of us out. Big difference. In fact, it is the key reason why asymmetric warfare is working so well for Al Qaeda.
