Fact is that the Islamic Fundamentalists have been getting much of their money from the Saudi Royals.

We buy their oil and the Saudis then give some of that money to groups like Al Qaida. This has been discussed by many commentaters from across the political spectrum.

If anything, Bush and the rest of the Neo-conservatives wish to sweep this all under the carpet and keep it business as usual. Remember the first words out of Bush were "Islam is a religion of peace" right after the 911 attacks. Pretty weak if you ask me.

There have been the many suicide attacks against Americans and Jews by Islamic Fundamentalists since the early 1980's. There was the takeover of the US embassy in Iran back in 1979 by Islamic mobs led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. I am sure you must have forgotten the first attacks on the World Trade Center by muslims about ten years ago.

There is also the many wars going on everywhere in the world that Islam borders another culture. Central Asia, Philipenes, Indonesia, Africa, and the Balkans.
BTW, it was the muslims and not the Serbs who started the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo.

What we have is a resurgant Islam and things are just getting warm. It was like this when Islam first started to take over much of the medieval world before the Crusades slowed them down a bit.



I think you already know much of this, but are just too conditioned by PCism to admit what you already know.
