But of course the US knows about these matters too:

  Interesting that Diana West, a leading 'conservative' columnist should spout 
the same message, albeit veiled, that bin Laden mouths on his latest broadcast 
(didn't I say we were due for another one). Bush might deny that the 'War on 
Terror' is actually the 'War against Islam', but the agenda is what counts and 
that agenda at the moment is for a religious war. 

  Of course, West happens to have a dig at Europe at the same time. What would 
be funny, if this wasn't so serious, is the underlay that Europe knows nothing 
about terrorism and how to deal with the perpetrators. Nothing at all, which is 
why the IRA never disarmed and ETA never ended their armed campaign, it's why 
Warrington never happened, or Omagh for that matter, its why more than 1,800 
people didn't die as a result of IRA activity, or why over 14,000 were remained 
uninjured. 

  In Europe we try and create friends and allies. In the US - in some circles - 
it seems they are only interested in creating enemies. But then you need 
enemies if you're going to have a war. 

  That's terribly important.
