Steverino, it depends on what you consider terrorism. Does bombing and shelling the heck out of civilians count as terrorism, or does it not count as terrorism because those doing to bombing and shelling of civilians are dressed in uniforms. See, I look at the arab style of warfare as guerilla warfare. On 9/11, they targeted our economy by hitting the Twin Towers, they targeted our military by hitting the Pentagon, and they were probably aiming on targeting our government by hitting the Capital or the White House with the plane that went down in PA.

Don't you think the arabs would fight straight up with Israel if they stood a chance? Something tells me that if the arabs had rifles, tanks, and planes to match those of Israel, they wouldn't be using terrorist tactics.

Again, if it weren't for our support of Israel over all these years, we wouldn't have to be worrying about Iran aiming nukes at us.

Yes, I understand that oil is a world commodity and that it is actually traded on the commodity market. However, what happens when there is a shortage of it and we and the other countries all need it? That will be a tough day and a long war. In World War II, the Japanese were fighting for conquest, but their initial conquests were for food, and then they went after the US because we wouldn't supply them with fuel and metal. Wars start over raw materials such as oil.
