Exactly. It's a GLOBAL War on Terror... it's not just about Iraq.
Secondly, I was thinking...and would like some feedback please. Why is it that islam is taking the fight up with the west now? Granted, it's been escalating for the past 30 years, but more recently in the past 10 years. Why now? Well, let's think about the role of oil and the "fear" of increased world demand and a lack of oil to supply that demand. Many say oil is running out. If that's so, then islam is close to running out of money. No oil revenue, no money to fund islam. So time to act is now before the oil revenue dries up. I suspect that the radical islamic movement is fighting a race against time. They've got a window of opportunity of about 50-100 years to win this war before the oil money is gone for good.
