"You will have to forgive me if I fail to see the "tactical brilliance" of wiping the Saudi slate clean, turning a blind eye to their support of terrorism and continuing to give them money that will eventually be used to kill Americans. "

Agree with ya there, I think the US gov saw this coming a long time ago, but nobody at the top was willing to handle the problem. The House of Saud needs to work with us a lot more and they need to be held accountable for a larger part of what happened.

We removed our troops from SA not to please Osama, but to scare the House of Saud.

Why do you use the WTC as your only example for terror against the US.

Islamic terror against the US began way before 911. How much do you know about terror, except what you have read in the internet.

However like countless soldiers throughout history I will fight for my country and for my family, even if I know or believe my country is to blame or somehow in the wrong. It's simple really, this is my country and this is where my family and friends live, even if my grave shall be tainted with the same stigma as that of so many other soldiers who were on the wrong side, I will still fight for them. I will never take part in a crusade though."

Maybe US soldiers feel the same.

GScholz, it is not a matter of education or richness, it is a matter of mentality above these factors. My friends were (and are) also friends of very edutated, rich and infuent people at Saudi Arabia, and, even so, the maps of Europe at their homes show a muslmin Europe. France, Italy, Germany and Spain were painted as muslmin countries. These people had the "innate obligation" to convert my friends to the real religion (theirs). Even in very technicals meetings about oil pipelines, my friends had always "very polite attacks" to be converted to their religion.

You cant fight against the prizes promised by their God for that kind of attitude, terrorism included. The only way to change that mentality would be to change or nullify their God, and that is not possible.
