These talking heads and self appointed experts that seem to hold sway on TV in this day and age have so many reasons why the Muslim extremists want to hurt us it drive me crazy.

It's America's fault because we have troops on Arab soil.
It's about controlling the world's oil.
It's about American Imperialism and arrogance.


All just a bunch of hooooey to me.

Root cause:
The decendants of Ishmael want to wipe the decendants of Isaac off the face of the earth. We won't let them.
That's it. Bottom line. Take everything else away and there it lies. It's a several thousand year struggle and we already know how it ends.

Those talking heads (with few exceptions) cannot see beyond the ends of their noses.

To what do they attribute the Cole, the embassy bombings, the Achillea Lauro, the 1972 Olympics?

Oh, I forgot... it's always US imperialism and all these colonies we've invaded and conquered.

Puh-leeeeeze! Rolling Eyes

I have a solution that would knock thousands of years off the timeline, but some might not like the method! Evil or Very Mad

I was visiting old friends last weekend out of state and I was surprised when they started in on the 'I can understand why they hate us' 'it's our own fault' 'we are a country of greed' crap. All I kept saying is 'who have you been talking/listening to?! and I tried to talk sense into them. Very dissapointing.

AND that solution be a Harry Truman "cocktail", not unlike 1945. A little rash to some, but the terrorists will understand it.

The timeline may not have much time left in it.
My favorite saying now-a-days, "Hurry up Lord, we done dug ourselves a hole the space shuttle couldn't get us out of."
