And because terrorist leaders intentional keep the people ignorant and
misinformed.  They are taught to hate at an early age, and to blame their
problems on others instead of taking responsibility.

Suicide is killing only oneself.  These are homocide-bombers, and are
despicable cowards.  Real courage would overthrow Bin Laden, Arafat, Saddam

It also is a better source of fuel for tractors and other equipment which
facilitate the production of food.  If sand and oil won't allow the growth
of food, those countries must buy food from other countries.  Why fault the
producing countries for needing oil?
