As to whether or not the terrorists wanted to kill more people, I think they accomplished exactly what they set out to.

Good points Jim but ... I have friends from Jordan who are Catholic. As matter fact Jordan was mostly Catholic till the radical fundamentalist Muslims started taking over, village by village and now they are being forced out of the country for their religous beliefs and their goverment is ignoring this because of fear which is a a tactic of terrorists. I assume Jordan brought this upon itself also. Jim the people we are fighting are radical there is no reasoning, they believe Allah commands them to kill us regardless how you would like to twist the blame on America it's just no true....

Charlie,

Please don't take my words out of context. I did not 'blame' America. I did say that given how we have behaved in the global community, we have given people a reason to dislike us.

If this is a religious crusade then there will be no end to it, after all when did it start?

According to my Sourcebook on World Religions, its beginnings actually took place when Ishmael and his mother were forced into the desert due to Sarah's jeolousy that Hagar had given Abraham a son -- there was forever enmity between the children of Ishmael and the children of Isaac, Abraham's promised son. It is a holy conflict that spans thousands of years.

^^ fear not this is not a religous crusade I was merely stating a fact. Catholics in Jordqn are being forced out and killed, fundamentalist extreme Muslims believe all who do not follow their belief should die and that's the only reason why we were attacked. To confuse and bring up the past to try and understand their terror is useless, they are a hateful people who wish nothing more than to kill us.
