good article but...
the answer is????
"Arabs feel that they are under siege from the modern world and that the US symbolises this world. Every action America takes gets magnified a thousandfold. And even when we do not act, the rumours of its gigantic powers and nefarious deeds still spread. Most Americans would not believe how common the rumour is throughout the Arab world that the CIA or Israel's Mossad blew up the World Trade Center to justify attacks on Arabs and Muslims. This is the culture from which the suicide bombers have come."
they are going to hate us no matter what we do.
as someone stated last night, if you can't contain evil, you have to destroy it.
seems to me to be the beginning of a war veiled in religious beliefs. one that common sense will not matter as fanatics screaming from their caves will direct the "true believers" to their Allahhh. What else do they have to do? What do they have to lose? Dying, in their mind, for a rightous cause is better than sitting around picking camels ticks off ya...
What gets me is the silence of the leaders of the Muslim faith. Why are they not screaming from the highest pulpit denouncing the terrorist actions? In their silence is their real message.
...if you can't contain evil, you have to destroy it. As of 9/11/2001 it's proven we cannot contain it any longer.
