then Islamists would have to find another reason to attack us. I doubt they'd find that much of a challenge.
Ed Morrissey writes in the Weekly Standard that a certain Mohammed Afroze was recently sentenced by a Indian court "...to seven years in prison for his participation in a wider plot which had been planned for September 11, 2001. Afroze led another al Qaeda cell which planned to use commercial airlines as missiles to destroy several international targets."
That seems significant, especially given the targets: London (naturally), Australia (okay, I guess) and India(?). As Morrissey points out, India opposed the invasion of Iraq and routinely sides with the Palestinians. So maybe Iraq and Israel are excuses for rather than reasons for Islamist aggression. Just what the right has been saying since 9/11.
