Terrorism upon the US has everything to do with our intervention. THEY want us out.
The question? How bad do WE want to stay? Is Oil and Israel a good enough reason to stay? I think so. And Pat would tell me, "you'll have to accept the consequences", and I'd say that "I understand that."
Pat's words seem to be mangled by the readers, as usual. He is simply explaining WHY the terrorism, not WHO's to blame.
I did manage to catch Pat on Sean Hannity's radio program today. Sean seemed to want to focus on the blame thing.
Pat's comments about making friends with enemies in war re enforced my opinion that PJB was an intentional spoiler of the Reform Party. Also, Pat has gone back to making some sense. Pat, you're great, thanks for helping defeat Gore. Pat, you may not have "loved" the idea of Bush as President, but you KNEW the danger of a Gore Presidency.
I think Oil is true national interest, and we are in so deep with Israel that we should stand by them. But running the whole world should not be a goal of US policy.
