As I’ve said before its things like that that show that his apparent motives are far more global than such incidents. General dislike of the US for other far bigger reasons shines though. I’m starting to think it’s more cultural than economic. Islam fears being eroded by an apparently unstoppable wave of western culture which is causing them o go more extreme in an effort to protect their own culture. Thoughts? From another perspective I doubt it would do his Muslim popularity rating much good if he starting bombing Arabs in Iraq. Although Sadam himself I thought would have been a popular target.
