RTFM. Or the Al-Quaeda declarations, at least. > I know better. So *you* claim. Chuckle. >We could withdraw from the Middle >East tomorrow, and all that would change would be the excuse. Why would Al Q. care about the US if the US were not in their backyard? Its not like they care about US colonialism in the Americas, or Europe. They learned (via CCCP, Lebanon, etc.) how to evict intruders from their homeland, and now they are implementing it. They're acting rationally, and as a wanna-be analyst you should be able to understand that. In dropping the Towers, they were trying to wake up US taxpayers to the actions of their 'leaders'. Unfortunate that Americans are so hard to wake up (vaporizing some jar-heads on the other side of the planet does not truly impress), even harder to get to think, but that's the situation.
