IMHO, this is why we can never be successful, the only motivator for Arab muslims is a hate for Isreal. The extremists have capitalized on this and thrive on this to keep Hezzbolah and Al-Queda alive. There is no vision, no independent thought. Pretty Sad.

I'm pretty certain that more Muslims have been killed by terrorisim than non-Muslims, by a wide margin.
Tom Friedman makes a great point in his last book "The World is Flat"...
Basically that countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran etc... are able to avoid "taxing" their people because of state generated energy revenues... and without taxation there is no "representation."
As such, the people are not empowered, and their leadership keeps their focus elsewhere to avoid having to address their own inability to provide for their citizenry.
The assumption of the Iraq war architects was that Democracy is so universal, the Iraqi's would simply embrace their new freedom...
...but one must wonder if any of them ever really bothered reading their history texts.
