israel occupies less than 1% of all the arab lands in the mideast, yet it has been a threat for over 50 years.
fact and fiction, fear and loathing are what i'm talking aboot.
it doesn't matter that the US doesn't intend to invade and occupy every arab country.
what matters is they have invaded ONE country, and regardless of their intentions (which are far from altruistic), it is perceived in the worst way by moderate arabs everywhere, for some valid reasons.
the problem as perceived by many americans was the 19 highjackers willing to lay down their lives for the struggle.
fact is there's always wackos out there willing to do the dirty work.
the REAL problem is the fear and resentment towards america present in all the arab world, and the attitude that guys like bin laden are tolerable as long as they cut america down to size.
this attitude is growing with each day iraq is occupied.
