Fyron, I believe primitive was taking exception to this statement:

Primitive is saying that all the evidence of state-sponsored terrorism has been local, not global (ie, Hamas targets Israel, and only Israel, not all westernized cultures). He's also saying that the force that would be used against the states that sponsor local terrorism will only spawn more fanatics that will be prime recruits for al Qaida (sp?). bin Laden's group doesn't recieve support from governments, but rather from individuals and small Groups. The entire nature of their beliefs is pretty much a religious anarchy. There is no state but the nation of Islam, and the only leader is Allah and His Prophet, etc...
