We would not have a terrorism problem here if not for our support of Israel.

Sorry, you are totally wrong.

You have a terrorist problem because you are the USA - better and more successful than all other countries, and with a culture that is attracting most young people all over the world, including those that are supposed to follow in their Wahabi fathers' footsteps.

Remember why Osama bin Laden issued his fatwa against the US?

It had nothing to do with Israel, but very much to do with the US, especially the fact that US troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia.

Remember the video tape from the al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, when two of the 9/11 terrorist gave their reasons for why they wanted to attack the US? Do you remember what they said?

They wanted to revenge their Muslim brothers in Chechnya and Bosnia.

Do you remember which side of the conflict the US took in Bosnia? Yes, it was the side of the Muslims. Any US involvement in Chechnya? Not as far as I can remember.

Yes, sometimes the fight for the Palis or revenge against Israel are given as reasons for attacks against the US but why would those be more true than the other ones?

No, you are wrong on that count, just as you are totally wrong about the reasons for the war between Israel and Lebanon. However, I leave that to others to "debate".

Ironically the greatest loss of live next to 9/11, blamed by Osama on US presence in Saudi Arabia, took place in Beirut, launched by Hizbollah, because of US presence in Lebanon. More irony, we where there to shield the PLO.

Also worth noting in the article is the use of the PLO's Badr Brigade to counter Hamas. The Badr Brigade is well trained, a few thousand strong, based in Jordan. Jordan? Peaceful Jordan? One might wonder why they've been sheltering and training terrorists all these years. They're at peace with Israel aren't they?
