Maybe so, Thomas, but I'll bet they'd notice a lot less if we weren't funding both the Israeli weapons programs AND most of the Muslim dictatorships. In fact, we're lucky that most people around the world don't think too hard about the US Aid To Dependent Dictators programs. Then they'd be REALLY mad: http://freedom.orlingrabbe.com/lfetimes/dependent_dictators.htm And as far as Bin Laden goes, who put him into the guerrilla warfare business? Not Muslims. That was our very own geniuses from the CIA. The bottom line is that the US isn't going to get to Mars by marching back and forth in the Middle East trying to reconquer the Holy Lands. That meme bit Europe once before, and it's time we became immune to it.
