funnily enough, yes, but - IMHO - the early Jihad supporters had a
point - fighting against western corruption in their countries.

we *are* all incredibly corrupt in the west - whether we like to admit
it or not.

they just chose the wrongs tools to go about proving their point -
terror and violence - thereby reinforcing the neo-con view.

terror - spin - terror - lies - more spin...

vicious circle.

and it's now in overdrive... first Afghanistan, then Iraq... next
stop Iran.
