He's gone after Afghanistan and Irag. And he's going after Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, much of Muslim Southeast Asia, at least

...but not the entire Muslim world. Any clues yet?

Well let's see...Afghanistan has no oil

Iraq's oil was being plundered by Hussein and now is providing income to it's rightful owners, the Iraqis..

The other countries you mention, we have not attacked, nor do Paskistan or Egypt have much in the way of oil,but they are all hotbeds of Islamic fundamentalism run for the most part by authoritarian despots.

I'd say we are trying to eradicate the cancer of fundamentalist hate which we seem to have made a good start at in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Was that your point?

That's not a bad way of putting it. I find it extremely discouraging to find that I've been so unclear. Sorry.
