However, what people must understand is that any western government is a target of al-qaeda. Any non-islamic regime is a target of al-qaeda.
Which is why they must be stopped. We can't bury our heads in the sand and believe that if we didn't side with america we wouldn't be a target, because that is simply not the case.
The world needs to wake up to the fact that this particular brand of islamic fundamentalism and fanaticism can not be negotiated with. They understand only way to achieve their objectives and that is through terror and violence, and as much as it may repulse some people that is the way we may have to respond ourselves to protect our way of life.
They are right when they call this the war on terror because it is a war. If you are unsure about al-qaedas beliefs, aims and methods to achieve these aims just take a look at this:

Exactly right. I was coming in here to post it anyway, but I read in the Daily Mail today a really good article, about the Madrid blasts, and how it is wrong to blame the Popular party for it. I know most people here don't like the Mail, in the same way I despise feminists, but she really does do a good article, so I urge everyone regardless of what side you are on, to check it out anyway.

Nothing much to add, she sums it up pretty well. I do believe that you could give Al Qaeda everything they want, (pull all US troops out of muslim countries, increase foreign aid, give Palestinians all the land they want, etc) and they will still find something to attack the west about. Possibly turning all western democratic countries into Islamic theocratic states might please them for a while, but i'm sure not even that would do. They have before, and continue to delcare they want the eradication of all non-muslims, especially Jews. The great Winston Churchill had a good quote for times like these: "Appeasers are people who feed the crocodile, hoping it will eat them last". A lot of left wingers i've heard wish to go to the terrorists and say stuff like "I'm on your side; I'm against Americans foreign policies; I understand your pain; I'm pro-Palestine", etc, but they the terrorists know this, they just dont care.
And just in closing, I saw a comment someone posted on a blog, that made me smile:
