You don't think supporting the despotic regimes of the area could have anything to do with that?
If one is to believe what the Muslim Fundies themselves say, USA's worst crime is being "godless and immoral". It is not exactly as if the Bin
of this world dislike oppression provided it is of the "right" kind.That is just the way Arabian retorics works. But would they really bother to do anything about "godless and immoral" if there weren't for other reasons? You can see the same phenomenon in US political speech. They don't say: "We wanna secure our oil imports from Saudi-Arabia and Kuwait", but instead: "We want to liberate the Free people of Kuwait from the hands of the Evil dictator!" Technically what they said was correct, but which do you think was the *real* reason they actually decided to act? :-)
