True, but nevertheless the terrorists use reverse- psychology, as long the
US
remains in the Middle- East, support Israel or attacks any ' Muslim '
country
terrorists will continu bombing and will continu put the blame on the US/
Bush,
how much Americans will die in the process is of no concern.
And in their mind, even to be one American is enough to be ' blamed '.
And to the point that Bush would be blamed if you killed one, that is IMO
not true, internationals conventions state clearly that head of states can
't be
prosecuted if their country were to be engaged in an armed conflict_ as
long,
of course, to don 't conduct genocide.
Bush' / US aversion for the Den Hague tribunal can be seen in that light.

Oh but they do, Grant, they do ! Be sure of that !
Thet don 't have a " problem " with you though, they just want you out !
That' s all !
The problems lies within you_ that there are people willing to sacrifice/
willing to kill innocent Americans to get to their goals.
As long the US don 't see/ don 't understand, is willing to comprehend
that their support/ their committent jeapardizes other fractions their
existence, you gonna stay in trouble.
Out of what is deep inbedded in the American way of how memes/
genes are shaped by nature, the American people, or could we say,
the American (foreign) politics within the urge is there to ' help '.
Of course, by definition help is extensible and what goes for the former
can 't be done for the latter.
But you have to understand that whatever you do, there will be always
a third party involved which will be never keen on yours or any else its
precence for that matter.
You live in complete different worlds !
And in short, for the traffic example, 40.000 death or more, you ain 't
gonna change your ways !
This is again that psychological- deathlock mechanism that politics
uses to get you drive slower- this is memetic engineering per sé !
They try to get a meme inside your head which, they hope, will alter
the memes present there, and we all know how difficult that can be!
