A lot of the hatred between the middle east and the US stems from unfair trade practices which is why they targeted the world trade center in the first place.Even Canada has witnessed first hand how the US imposes trade rules on other countries and openly defies following those same rules themselves.The US was ordered to remove the tariff on canadian lumber,by the WTO, and yet refused.

Then there is the matter of oil.The US economy and way of life relies heavily on oil and they cannot allow a foreign country to hold that kind of power over them.This has more to do with the war in Iraq then most are willing to say.

As for the London bombings, it does appear that the location was merely chosen because it was possible and highly public.Al-quaida claims responsibility and say that Englands' allying themselves with America in the Iraqi war have earned this retaliation.

I'm not so sure this a 'holy war' anymore,if it ever was.
