Yabits: Al Qaeda was formed to rid the Islamic world of non-Islamic influences. The U.S. is now the primary enemy. Those who help the U.S. are seen as enemies as well.

Everyone is seen as the enemy who does not follow Al Queda. The US could drop off the the…

The vision of an Islamic-based caliphate/empire to counter the empire which encroaches and spreads non-Islamic values is only "radical" to someone who has no respect or understanding of the history of the region. The U.S. vision of a democratic Middle East is far more out of touch with reality, i.e.…

Al Qaeda formed largely as a counter to the American-led efforts to increase western hegemony over the resources of the region.

Garbage. Al Queda formed from a small movement to assist fighters against Russia in Afghanistan. Later it bloomed into global jihad. Al Queda isn't fighting to protect oil, they're…

Egypt and Israel are nearly on the same page now because of Iran. Not that they want to be, but both want to limit Hamas. The blockade of Gaza couldn't have happened without Egypt agreeing to it as well. The press might have ignored that angle but it doesn't erase…

Yabits: It works like this: The "friendly" government of Afghanistan applies for a loan to the World Bank, IMF, or other US-backed institution to build the pipeline. Since the Afghans don't have the technical expertise to build or operate the project, the money will be transfered to the Bechtels and…

But he's a hero and an exemplar to those who are opposed to what that military represents to his community.

That's nice. To me he is scum. Does that still bother you?

And to the non-military victims of the blast, the U.S. might call them "collateral damage."

That's nice, but…

You'd have to "respect the force" of a guy who caps 15 people in a shopping mall in Ohio, too. But he's still scum.

"The Pakistanis and U.S. forces in the region are using sledgehammers to try and swat mosquitoes."

Great. Mind if we give a little air time to…

Pacifying the country so that big infrastructure projects like the pipeline can be built is why the Americans are there.

So the other countries involved are assured to get at least a cut? How does that work?
