Coach, again I'll ask. The Taliban and Saddam killed more Afghanistanis and Iraqis than the West have killed. Why isn't there that same sort of anger focussed towards Saddam and the Taliban? Why didn't you have massive protests against the Taliban in Riyadh, or suicide bombers blowing up Taliban officials in Kabul?

That's why I think it's more about religion than the actual attrocities. If it's a Muslim doing this, we can overlook it, if it's a non-Muslim, suddenly it's a major issue...

BTW I am NOT on the US side on this issue. I strongly believe that Bush had his own nefarious reasons for the war. I just think that if it's Egypt that was doing the exact same thing in Iraq as the US and the UK are doing, there would be many less complaints by the Arabs nations and Muslims as a whole...

PS: You mentioned Chechnya on your list - what does the West have to do with Checnya, si that's an entirely Russian affair?
