Get it straight.  I am completely aware that 'environmentalism' is not
one of the primary motivations behind recent events. I brought issues
of resource use and environmenal consequences as one of a number
of  general bases for which the US could be viewed with some resentment
by other parties (not neccesarily the terrorists) when responding to
one of your earlier posts (24th September) I believe.  Though I have
referred to the  distribution of wealth more recently, I *never* stated
environmental issues were directly relevant in subsequent posts on the
'topic' (Re: [L-OT] OT^2 - Thanks), but I did respond  on this issue to
one of GA Moore's 'inquiries'.  Go back and follow the thread carefully
and disprove me if you doubt me, but don't make me out to be what I am
not, nor ascribe to me personal agendas I do not have.
