    Thing is I don't tend to see the "stereotypical" Mulsim that often at airports. For guys, you know the long beard, tan to brownish skin tone, some type of turban and Islamic wardrobe while for women it is the hijab and sometimes the rare burqa wearers.

    In regards to the average American North African, Middle Easterner or South Asian person, I don't seem them being harassed or put through security anymore than others. Anyways, from what you say, it seems either the security is different at UK/European airports or you just tend to see "stereotypical" Muslims more often.

    So yah, Bin Laden was successful in reaching his goal in that aspect.

    All these invasions of countries are far more complicated than we can probably imagine. However in each of these countries, there are interests to America and the rest of the world. Afghanistan produces 80-90% of the worlds opium and their producation rate has increased ever since the US invasion in 2001. Afghanistan was harbouring alot of bad people, most of which are dead or captured now which has made the world a safer place. If the US can destroy a country, they can rebuild it too which means lots of $$$$ for them.
    Iraq, there was a shitload of oil, a lunatic dictator that needed to go and the possibility to create military investments in the M.E.
    The only reason I think the Americans aren't in Iran right now is because it would cost too much because Iran are alot more organised and have a far superious army than Iraq did.

    It will be interesting to see what happens once the rebels take ful control over Libya. I have this funny feeling that whoever the Americans want in charge, will be just that.

    We would shit all over Iran's army. The problem with Iran is their people are more, how to say, die hard. They are an Islamic state and have a bunch of lunatic Msuslims that follow every word the Ayatollahs say and stuff. They would be a super frustrating insurgency.

    That's my opinion anyway.

    To a certain extent, yes.

    Did he succeed completely, no, because he's dead now, but anyone who has become the world's most wanted man has to really antagonise the United States. He has done that with his awful crimes.

    I actually think the majority of Iranian people are more moderate Muslims than many other Middle Eastern countries. Essentially, the current Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the other Islamic leaders might have much influence and control of Iran as a whole but many Iranians (primarily the younger generation) are against their regime.

    I'm not well acquainted with Iranian politics but that is how I interpreted some of the stuff I read. So, there might by a few fanatical followers of the Ayatollah but the majority of Iranians aren't like that.

    No question that America would dominate but right now it's just not feasible. They are in two theatres of war right now, money is tight, it's just not the right time for them...yet.

    Iran would bankrupt the USA. The US might win the war, but it would be worse than Vietnam.
