On the flip side, many Europeans can see that Muslim point of view (in seeing the Christian biased globalizationist West as the aggressors) so aren't surprised when they want to use whatever means they can find to fight back in some way, be this terrorism, or alleged development of nuclear weapons.

I'm not taking sides - but the original poster wanted a 'World' view.

What better way to gain support for a war than to say 'They're developing nuclear bombs - they're going to zap us if we're not careful!'... Worked in Iraq didn't it? And just LOOK at all that secret nuclear capability they found there!

What's North Korea doing now then? Or has everyone forgotten about that one, as it's not getting any propaganda (ahem) er, news coverage?
