Finally the world is to stand up to terrorism. If only it were not in such tragic circumstances. But one question nags me...

Will the new crusade be carried through with the same conviction if it is found that the terrorist money trail leads into the upper echelons of, say, Saudi Arabia or the Emirates?

I hope that it would, but military action against Afghanistan or Iraq is an 'easy' option to choose for the politicians, and I wonder how US resolve would stand up if action (in whatever form) had to be taken against our stated allies and major suppliers of oil?
