"There is absolutely nothing that can be done to remove the motivation. Someone will always be jealous of the US, or think that they have the perfect interpretation of their bible or what not. Defense and preventative measures are the only way."

Sorry - don't agree! As regards the "jealously" - that is myth - they are not "jealous". They also don't "hate the US", but they sure as hell hate the US Government to hell and back.

Just take a look at the US policies towards the Middle East over the last 20 years and the US track record will explain pretty well why there is some "animosity" generated in that region. What you sow, you will reap.

But yep, there will always be the "total nuts" who will attack "anyplace" - little answer to that kind of attack.

No matter how much military power may exist, - that is not going to stop terrorist organizations. Defend as best as possible, but never believe that will be even 70% successful.

Sadly this is a watershed time for the US (in many ways - thanks to the idiot Bush) and it stinks to hell to see things degraded to this crappy level by the current Admin.
