It's fairly irrelevant to the point though. The Afghan Arabs were "the enemy of America's enemy" and supported in one way or another by America's support. But more importantly is the Bush family's personal support and friendship with the Saudi dictators. In other words, the US has a long history of supporting various dictators and regimes in the middle east including Saddam Hussein, the Shah, The House of Saud, et al This is why Grant's point is dead on: the ground work for today's Muslim terrorists was laid years ago for cheap oil and the Cold War. And no party has a monopoly of support those dictators. Maybe the Bush's more than others due to the House of Saud, but Presidents of both parties have supported this framework. Consequently Bin Laden has been able to convince the Muslim world that their troubles are all due to US meddling and support of dictators and if it weren't for the US the Muslims would be free. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
