While insurgent sources in Iraq told TIME they had no prior knowledge of the Amman attacks, the fact that al-Zarqawi would strike Jordan wasn't surprising. U.S. military officials have viewed Jordan as an inevitable target for al-Zarqawi in his effort to export jihad outside Iraq. Jordan's King Abdullah II has longstanding ties to the U.S. (he went to junior high at the Eaglebrook School in Massachusetts and prep school at Deerfield Academy) and has quietly supported the U.S. war effort, despite its deep unpopularity with the Jordanian public. Jordan is a staging ground for the private...

...shots missed their targets, killed two bystanders and served as a warning that more Zarqawi attacks may be on the way. Another trend worrying Jordanian officials is the substantial numbers of the Kingdom's young men who have gone off to Iraq to join Zarqawi's cause-the jihad against the U.S.-led effort to build a new Iraq.

The driving forces are socio-economic injustice and racial segregation, not a thirst for infidel blood on the march to a global Caliphate. The infuriated youths burning cars and stoning police in the dismal suburbs of Paris, Toulouse, Lille, Rennes and beyond are demanding a piece of France's modern...

...followers of bin Laden hate most. Perhaps, some retort, but setting cars alight and attacking cops are significant acts of violence, and a psychological step closer to actual terror acts. All that's needed, that argument goes, are that the demands of today's rioters be redirected toward jihad. It's true that France has been woefully unresponsive to banlieue aspirations. But mercifully few people there are ready to adopt bin Laden's radical worldview. You're more likely to find those who have done in Iraq than in the French housing projects most rioters still consider home...
