"So Turkey was an al-Qaida target for not cooperating with the US in Iraq? And Saudia Arabia was attacked because the US withdrew its troops? And the attack on the synagogue in Morocco was, well the logic fails me."

the attacks in turkey were on british banks and other targets associated with the brits. most commentators believe the message was not anti-turk but anti-brit. saudi arabia has long been an al-quida target because of the royal family government that consorts with westerners and does not maintain an islamic fundamentalist stance. i don't know about the synagogue attack you mention. is the logic clearer now?
