It is a perverse twist of history that this new threat arrives at the same moment that wars between states are receding into the past. Thanks to global interdependence, state-against-state warfare is far less likely than it used to be, and viable only against disconnected or powerless states. But the underlying processes of globalization have made us exceedingly vulnerable to nonstate enemies. The mechanisms of power and control that states once exerted will continue to weaken as global interconnectivity increases.

Let\'s not exaggerate Al Qaeda\'s potential for lethal action. The United States, for example, directly and indirectly caused the deaths of more than 2 million Vietnamese in our attempt to "pacify" Vietnam. The former Soviet Union\'s efforts to "pacify" Afghanistan  resulted in the deaths of more than 1 million Afghanis. Nation states still have a monopoly on the weapons and use of violence. This monopoly is now being threatened, but the hope that the governments and people of Afghanistan or Pakistan will be "pacified" is wishful thinking.</div>\

What we call "collateral damage" and going after the wrong people actually turns moderates into extremists, and that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in Bombay. Now the worst thing that could happen is there\'s a backlash on the Muslims from the fundamental Hindus in India, which then will perpetuate the problem. Inflammation will create more inflammation. <br><br>CNN: Let me jump in on that because you\'re presuming something very important, which is that it\'s Muslims who have carried out these attacks and, in some cases, with Washington in their sights. <br><br>Chopra: Ultimately the message is always toward Washington because it\'s also the perception that Washington, in their way, directly or indirectly funds both sides of the war on terror. They fund our side, then our petrol dollars going to Saudi Arabia through Pakistan and ultimately these terrorist groups, which are very organized. You know Jonathan, it takes a lot of money to do this. It takes a lot of organization to do this. Where\'s the money coming from, you know? The money is coming from the vested interests. I\'m not talking about conspiracy theories, but what happens is, our policies, our foreign policies, actually perpetuate this problem.

As everyone can see, they will do anything to bring it back as - in their minds - the ends justify the means. They believe that by forcing the current world order to collapse, they can come in and bring order under their own rule with a mandate from God. This is why we see all the bombings and terror attacks. They want chaos so that they can say "See! The current system is a failure".<br><br>They believe that everything is going according to plan with the world-wide financial crisis. I re-iterate what I said above. <b>They WANT the world to burn.</b>  They WANT people to feel afraid. They WANT people to feel as if they are not safe. They want all of this so that the system will collapse and they can establish their thuggish theocracy.<br><br>So to your questions<br><br><blockquote>What are they mad at? And why are they mad at it? </blockquote> They are angry that they are opposed in trying to re-establish this medieval order. They LOVED Taliban ruled Afghanistan - who likewise established order in a country that was in chaos. THAT is what they want for the entire planet! A backward and ignorant medieval order. <br><br>The United States has been the strongest force on the planet in opposition to the re-imposition of this medieval order. So by their logic, if the US goes down, opposition to them goes away. Or at the very least reduced significantly.<br><br>It is very important for us here - who are mostly Obama supporters - to understand that <b>all of us</b> are firmly in their cross hairs. They would LOVE (indeed PREFER) for what happened in India to have happened right here in the United States!<br><br>A great Obama Presidency that leads our country back to greatness would be the WORST thing to happen for them. This is why we must ALL work hard (that includes you Obama haters out there) and be vigilant to make sure that this happens. They do not distinguish between Democrats, Republicans or Independents. They want us all under their cruel heel. This is for the sake of our country and the survival of our way of life.<br><br>These terrorist creeps do NOT want Obama to succeed. They are opposed to a message of hope. (to the contrary, they want people to feel despair) This is why they lashed out against him and even tried to turn us against him.<br><br>I hate to sound like an alarmist. I am not, but we must get this into our heads: They are CONSTANTLY planning to try to kill us and create chaos. It does not matter whether or not Bin Laden is dead. This is an ideology</div>\

Then, they had mentioned that other group, and I know someone said that the other group had obviously been hooking up with Al Qaeda. What I have been impressed with is the restraint that India has displayed, considering the longtime and persistent hostilities with Pakistan. They chose Mumbai, because they thought it would provoke India into making a mistake.</div>\

The arc of productivity growth that lets small groups terrorize at ever-higher levels of death and disruption stretches as far as the eye can see. Eventually, one man may even be able to wield the destructive power that only nation-states possess today. It is a perverse twist of history that this new threat arrives at the same moment that wars between states are receding into the past. Thanks to global interdependence, state-against-state warfare is far less likely than it used to be, and viable only against disconnected or powerless states. But the underlying processes of globalization have made us exceedingly vulnerable to nonstate enemies. The mechanisms of power and control that states once exerted will continue to weaken as global interconnectivity increases. Small groups of terrorists can already attack deep within any state, riding on the highways of interconnectivity, unconcerned about our porous borders and our nation-state militaries. These terrorists’ likeliest point of origin, and their likeliest destination, is the city."</i></blockquote><br><br>The above is an excerpt from an essay by John Robb who blogs at <i>Global Guerillas</i>.

Are you really dumb enough to  think that the United States recruited 19 terrorists from Saudi Arabia to kill close to 3,000 of our own citizens?<br><br>2.

Islamic extremism existed long before the United States was ever thought of (just like other forms of religious extremism). All you have to do is look at the sects of Islam that will kill fellow believers for not being "Islamic enough." Read the Koran. Or, if that\'s too difficult for you, there\'s other books you can read (including some with pictures, so you can follow along).<br><br>4. Apparently, you don\'t know anything about America.

You export 92% of the worlds arms and ammunition, illegal arms trading makes up 5% of your GNP. You have always armed AQ (to fight the french and russians, remember?) and after 9/11, arms sales surged - trading with anyone who would buy - including domestically (thanks to another propagated fear campaign, similar to the old "reds under the beds") What is a sacrifice of 3000 taxpayers opening up a multi trillion dollar industry?<br><br>2.Have you ever read the UN\'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Your government signed it! And that declaration renders both Iraq and Afghanistan illegal wars. And yes, unfortunately the rock I crawled out from under (Australia) is part of the commonwealth, and the union jack has more blood on it than any other flag, hence my dissent.<br><br>3. I have indeed read the Koran, and you are quite right about "..sects of Islam that will kill fellow believers for not being "Islamic enough". But that, like Vietnam - Korea - Iraq - Pakistan (the list goes on) is not your war. You are simply creating another enemy.<br><br>4. Strongest? Ahh, see that is your weakness. Arrogance. Your encroachment and Imperialism is driven by fear, and fear is not constructive or sustainable. It is reactionary. Do you really think that you\'ll wake up one morning to CNN reporting that all the terrorists are dead, and all resentment towards the US has dissolved? And all it would take to bring your nation down is for China to finally collect your debt owing. Yes, one day Nike shoes and dodgy electronics will have a little label, \'MADE IN U.S.A\'</div>\
