I think it is a fact that Islam fanatics believe that Western civilization is evil and must be eradicated and have been waging war against the West for several hundred years to do just that -- it is a religious war -- the crusades were part of it -- a major blow to the West would be a nuke exploding in NY harbor and I am sure that is high on the fanatics planning list -- the Afghans are just tokens in this war -- their army was 100% Islamists -- no other religion is tolerated
