>>>So killing their leaders or Bin Laden some how would have stopped the threats and the bombing? Wouldn't they have seek revenge? The cycle will continue on and on much like what is happening in the Middle East, see (Isreal and PLO). Which is why what happened in Jordan so strange. Isn't Jordan mostly Palestinians?

>>I not sure if Jordan is mostly Palestinians. But I just heard on the radio that most of the hotels bombed are owned by Palestinians. Since they do align themselves with us. I'm not sure if that includes the majority of the population. At minimum we are supported by the king of Jordan.

>So they blew up hotels merely becuase they do business with infidel westerners and nonbelievers. What does that tell you about them?

>These guys thrives on revenge and violence. They have nothing to loose. The theocracy they live under don't provide them with much opportunity to do anything else.
