sense, here is that link i posted in the other thread about the Tamil Tigers: http://www.cfr.org/publication/9242/
i suggest u read it since u obviously didn't read it last time. the link explains the motivation of the Tamil Tigers, being that they are a secular movement, rather than a religious one. if u did some research about the Tamil Tigers you would realise that.
and about ETA, IRA, drug trade in South America you mentioned "these are hardly war zones", again i hope ur joking, are you? since if ur not, then i suggest u do some research about them, esp. the drug trade in South America, where the police & drug traders are more heavily armed that most of the world's armies. here is a couple of links to help get u started, i hope u read them: http://www.fcda.org/southamerica.htm http://mediafilter.org/shadow/S42/S42dea.html
And when u mentioned that "muslim leaders are also political leaders", but that isn't true for muslim-populated countries in the Middle East & South East Asia, except for Iran. I'm guessing u realised this since u only mentioned Iran to justify ur point.
And i didn't say muslims love us, but what i am saying is that they aren't as big a threat as what people are making them out to be, e.g. with the Iranian president ranting about Islam ruling the rest of the world, does he have the support of other Islamic nations? No, mainly because Iran is the only Shi-te Muslim country out there and is therefore isolated. Also, all Sunni Muslim populated countries are led by non-religious Saddam-like dictators (as i mentioned before), so it's unlikely any religious war would come from those countries.
And on the topic of nuclear weapons, they are an evil weapon that should off not been created at all. i mean what kind of a sicko creates a bomb capable of destroying an entire city, and also uses them to bomb two Japanese cities (which i might add where non-military targets).
but then again, nuclear weapons are an advancement of military technology and like previous military technologies (e.g. tanks, planes, guns, etc) a country should be able to develop them if it means keeping up-to-date and being able to effectively fight wars. that's any countries right, to have an effective military force, and that is regardless of ethnic or religious backgrounds. i really don't get why the countries that have nuclear weapons are so eager to stop other countries developing them, i'm guessing since they can effectively crush these other countries in a war if those countries didn't have nuclear weapons.
