The anti-American feelings in the Middle East are directly because of what is happening between the Israelis and Palestinians.

I think there is much more to it than that:

I think they hate us because we help to prop-up mideast governments that revolutionaries would like to overthrow.

Of course this is part of it, but as it has been explained to me, there is much more hatred towards the British over this than towards us. Afterall, they were the ones who put them there to begin with.

I wouldn't believe that the CIA believes everything in this book. It may have some disinformation in it for the terrorists. WE may not be the real audience.

It has been some time since I looked at it so I forget the thread of the argument.

Read it as if you are a terrrorist and see what you think.

"I think they hate us because we help to prop-up Mideast governments that revolutionaries would like to overthrow."

Yes, and when we, in the spirit of Jimmy Carter and Scheuer, pull the rug out from under our allies in the Mideast, like the Shah in Iran, the Islamic revolutionaries are eternally grateful for our assistance. Isn't Iran a much better place for America, for the Iranian people, for the stability of the Mideast, and for the world, what with its soon to be atomic bomb, than it would have been under the Shah?
