@Stroggy: The sentance might be old, but can you honestly say it's not true?

Can you honestly say its only the US?
The entire world is under the influence of corperations, not just the 'evil' US.
And, when push comes to shove, do politicians really have different goals than CEOs? [/b][/quote]
Point well taken

@Nick:
Do you really remember those old days :whistle:
But seriously - you're talking about muslim world as being nothing but a training base to produce terorist that will kill everybody who isn't muslim. Thet's just silly. Yes - there is a lot off terorism going on and that's BAD. But I have a question: "Do you know why there's so much terorism?"
In my opinion it's very simple (and I can even understand it - NOT SUPORT, just understand). That region of the world now known as the Islamic world once had some great empires (Persian & Otoman are just the most famous). So they have a history that can make them proud in some way. But for a couple of centuries now they have been treated as somebody elses peice of land, that can be turned over to a new owner with all the people living there (it was a part of land that was under the control of: Turks, English, Frenc, Russians (at least some parts for some time) and now apearently US. They are treated as third rate countries - the third world - no one takes them seriously. They are just a part of the bet in some big poker game world superpowers were playing in last 200 years. So I bet they have to be really pissed off and the religion is probably the only thing that can unite them - that's why they are uniting under the call for holy war. That's BAD, but there's no real alternative... What do you thing Russian heroes like Aleksander Newsky were called - they were considered terorists in those days (same as American trappers fighting the red coats, or even freedom fighters in world war 2). But the terorists of today have gotten more bloodthursty, more violent and are killing inocent people (in much larger numbers then ever befor - but then again, the world never had so many people).
That's just a though - so next time you're saying - all muslims are terrorists out to kill us, just remember that it's the "developed and civilized" world that hasn't taken them seriously until they resorted to terorism...
That's no excuse - TERORISM is BAD, but stopping it is a whole different matter.
