Terrorism is funded by the money we pay for foreign oil and the money made by drug cartels. And, we are dancing around the edges pretending to fight terror when we can wipe it out by eliminating that funding. A budding terrorist who is trying to find something to eat won’t be up to much mischief. And, radicals of any kind who are sitting in a sand dune somewhere won’t be sending the bad guys any money, either.
A profound and important point.
You must've awaken to terrorism on Sep 11, in late afternoon.
What about terrorism in Algiers in the early 1960? What about Palestinians taking over a kindergarten and throwing hand-grenades at the kids in the early 1970s? What about the killing of Aldo Moro in the late 1970s Italy?
All of that was financed by oil? Nonsense. None of that had to do with us at all, and it is not just up to America to deal with that. Your exaggerated feeling of self-importance is one of the reasons we are viewed as arrogant abroad.

What about the Red Brigades' killing of Aldo Moro in the late 1970s Italy? Has the oil consumption and drug habits of Americans financed the takeover of a Russian school by the Chechens just a few years ago?
Nonsense. None of that had to do with us at all, and it is not just up to America to deal with that. Your exaggerated feeling of self-importance is one of the reasons we are viewed as arrogant abroad.
