Oh and as far as the end of US hyperpower. In many respects I agree and I also agree a multipolar world will likely be a bit more stable. But keep in mind the US still maintains a virtual global military hegemony via it's massive blue water navy.
The Taliban were bought and paid for by the Saudi and Pakistani governments and they very nearly handed bin Laden over to Prince Turki al Faisal a few years before 9/11.
"Why do you think they did those things?"
Bin Laden's focus didn't settle on the US until just after the start of the first Gulf war when the Saudi royals refused his offer of an Aghanistan like mujahideen resistance against Saddam Hussein, preferring the military dominance of western forces and allowing them to stage for war on Saudi soil. This was bin Ladens turning point.
Thanks but I'm not quite so ignorant as to entertain the all terrorists are Muslims diatribe. None of your links substantiate the "most terrorism is committed by white supremacists" claim. Quite the contrary, actually.

Like Andy I'd be curious to know what the "most terrorism in the US is committed by white supremacists" claim is based upon.
