    He may have done those things, but to say that "we" (meaning the U.S. I assume) haven't been doing those things is also amazingly ignorant and blind to facts. The U.S. is, by far, the most giving nation in regards to things like that. By far.

    Research it. Eqypt and Palestine are perfect examples. There is no opinion involved in this. Fact: fundamentalist Islamic groups provide the bulk of the social services in Eqypt and Palestine. Fact: in eqypt the services provided are of much higher quality than those provided by the government. I have heard this repeated by professors and journalists over and over and over again for the past year and some months in numerous lectures here at Northwestern. This is the case for most of the middle east and is the primary method by which fundamentalist islam has gained a strong following. It is also why governments in middle east countries are losing influence over their citizens. When the people feel abondoned by their government and well-funded islamic groups take their place, what do you think will happen?

    Giant could you please give me a list of the OBL roads, schools, hospitals and (trying not to laugh here) day care facilities. WTF would an Islamic fundamentalist need a day care facility for?





    Further could you please detail the amount of money the US, Hamas et. al. has spent in Egypt and the PT. Real dollar amounts would be great. TIA.





    BTW you may want to shore up that hole you?re digging there.
