Wait a minute. Does this mean that you think Islamists would be plotting to blow up planes or drive them into tall buildings if the US hadn't supported Israel and a host of reactionary, corrupt Arab regimes for years, and more recently, invaded Iraq, with the support of that lickspittle Blair? And you think that they'd still be as perfervid (to use Marty Peretz' favorite word) if the US changed its policies?
