Now that terrorists have blown away at least 88 in the Egyptian resort of Sharm-el-Sheikh, a few pressing questions for those left-of-center (seems like oh, about 85 percent or more around here in the Southeastern Capital of Academic free-from-thought)...
1 - If terrorism is being driven by the changes in Iraq, then tell me please just how many troops does Egypt have in the Coalition of the coerced, bribed, etc.? They don't have any? Well... how can that be?
2 - If terrorism is aimed at the West and the Judeo-Christian world, then explain why it was mostly Arabs and Muslims who bore the brunt of the attack in Egypt? Were they just "collateral damage"? Innocent bystanders? Eh? Bad planning? I don't think so.
and 3 - This is the third terrorist act along the Sinai in the last year, following attacks at the resorts of Ras Shitan and Taba last October which killed 34. Why were these downplayed in the MSM? Too close to November and the US Election? No room to report on this? Might make the G-W-O-T look more serious? Hmmm?
One other thing. Can we ditch the phony 'root causes' diatribes we always hear? The ones about the causes being "poverty", the West, etc.? The people committing these acts care nothing about any of that. They don't care who they take out. They are fanatic extremists with absolutely no regard for anyone or anything. They are intent on bombing the rest of the world back to the dark ages. They. Must. Be. Stopped.

Where is the Muslim "leadership" in condeming these acts? Why do they sympathize?
THAT my friend is the root cause! Not me, not my religion, not my "wealth", not wear I live.
Good post.

Terrorism has been further fueled by Iraq, not necessarily driven by it. As you posted in another post, terrorism against the U.S. has been around a lot longer than the Gulf Wars.
Recognize that terrorism affects people all over the world every day. Not everything in the whole-wide world has to with the United States every second of every day.
Perhaps there are others who have stuff to be p.o.'d about.

"The people committing these acts," huh? The United States dropped more bombs in Iraq on the first night of the second Gulf War than they did in the entire first Gulf War. How do you think Iraqi's feel about the U.S.? To them, we have no regard for anyone or anythign and we want to bomb their world back to the dark ages.
In fact, we did. We bombed all major electric facilities and water treatment facilities. I won't even get into who got the billion dollar contracts to fix all those things up...
