..I think its quite obvious that THEY DON'T LIKE US FOR A REASON , which i believe has some validity to it....that is we TAKE ADVANTAGE of other countries & their resources for our own gain ...somalia - diamonds , angola- oil , east timor - oil ( US & UN got involved only after they found vast oil reserves off of timors coast ) . Groups like this thrive because of the poverty which they are immersed in ( middle eastern countries ) , and if socio-economic changes aren't corrected , then I see no end in sight to "the cycle" . What im essencially trying to say is that the US has to make amends with the global community (which is overwhelmingly anti-us ) with good deeds and not by sheer violence-intimidation alone ....and only then I believe the WAR could be won .
