I can't put my finger on anything all that specific and overriding.[/QUOTE]That's not entirely true. [QUOTE]For many years AL QAEDA wanted to drive the United States from the Arabian peninsula, topple Middle East governments supported by the United States, including Egypt and Israel, and create an Islamic empire based upon its narrow interpretation of the Koran. Over the years, AL QAEDA has grown as it absorbed or allied with other like-minded Islamic terrorist groups, including the EGYPTIAN ISLAMIC JIHAD.[/QUOTE]This from a [URL=http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/terrorism/ashtonalq90302cmp.pdf]suit (pdf)[/URL] filed on 3 September 2002 claiming a gagilion dollars in damages from Iraq and various other people. Al Qaeda would seem to have clear goals. 1. Get the United States armed forces out of Saudi Arabia; 2. Revenge Iraq and punish the United States for sanctions alleged to have caused the death of numerous children; 3. Oppose Isreal and support the Palestinians. The United States supports Isreal. The friend of my enemy is also my enemy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
