Why do so many Muslims turn to terrorism to get their issues heard?

exactly, I for one can't wait for that Afghani and Haiti oil to hit the market already....

yes they will come soon, please stand out side and wait for the oil trucks to come by. If the US was so damn paranoid about communism, it won't be in all its mess today with Afghanistan and Iraq.

Ok that was beyond stupid. The doctrine about resisting the spread of communism everywhere is what has saved much of Europe and Asia from being an absolute cesspool today. You don't see Russia in a big rush to get back into communism, do you?

No offense man, but do some reading - I recommend The First Directorate by Oleg Kalugin, a major general in the KGB/Russian Army. The Cold War had some absolutely awful spinoff effects but it was definitely a war worth fighting.

resisting doesnt mean you have to go and support other dictators just because they are against communism. and just how many country did the US save from communism? NK? Vietnam? China?? Most eastern European country were still under communist rule until the fall of communism in Russia.

As far as I know, NK and China are still communist and we lost the Vietnam war. I may have misunderstood what you were trying to say.

Sure seems scary to me..

Also, I have heard over and over again that Muslims have one main goal and they will die for it.... to convert the whole world to Islam or kill all who resist.. any truth to that?

Ah yes, gross generalization is the answer you all your questions!

I read somewhere that "terrorism" is the poor man's warfare.

I don't think it so much the poor mans at the desperate mans. You can be poor and address a grievence you may have in a non-violent fashion. However if you are desperate, if you feel as though you have no hope, when you feal that there is nothing you can do to change the way things are, you may resort to terrorism. I don't think you have to be poor to be a terrorist, you just have to feel as though there is no other way. Does this justify terrorism? No, but it's the best I can do to try to understand it for myself.
