You can claim this all day, but your still looking at things from one side of the spectrum. Sure, I am younger, but you're not the one who's lived on both sides of the world. you dont speak both of the languages invloved. You havn't interacted with the complete range of people I've interacted with.
You've been in NY when Sept !! Happned. I've been in Riyadh when scud missiles were flying over my house. I've been in Riyadh and heard the first of the bombs against the US targets. There were terrorist confrontation with Saudi forces at a 2 minute walking distance from where my family live. My home city where i've lived for 16 years upside down now because of what's going on. I know what goes on there now and I see it from the US perspecive too. I've never been brainwashed. I've always got both CNN internatioanal via satelite and Al-Jazeera just a few clicks away, and with what i see and who i talk to I know can cut all the BS out.
What you know, is only what you're fed at your neck of the woods.
I'm waiting for the sources! are these these from the same sources that say Saddam has WMD, or from the ones that say Sudan's medicine factory was a chemichal weapon factory?
I am concidered Wahabi because I am Saudi, but do I have these redical believes? nope. Neither do the thousands who live in the USA. I interact with these so called Radicals every day in the MSA (Muslim Student Assosiation) and in no way do they have radical ideas. Radicals have mostly come from this sect because of how the Islamic teachings were a bit twisted and influenced from terrible cultural morals. Most of us here in the US know better and even more don't follow Islamic teachings at all (not very religious).
Saddam has also promissed to defeat the US when the war started.
He's trying to instill fear.
