I believe that Mike Evans is on point. Our government and all of our leaders are looking at the conflict from a "worldly" point of view and looking to desires of the flesh as the cause of the fight (i.e., power, financial poverty etc.). Paul clearly told us:
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
This battle is spiritual. Until all Christians come to a clear understanding of this fact we have less than our full and complete armor of God for this battle.

Subject: Evangelist Speaks at Harvard School of Law
Evangelist Michael D. Evans, author of the soon-to-be-released Time Warner book, The American Prophecies, and author of New York Times bestseller, Beyond Iraq: The Next Move, was invited to speak at Harvard School of Law last Thursday.
Mike Evans Speaking at Harvard School of Law
Drawing heavily from the materials in The American Prophecies, Mr. Evans was asked to speak on the subject, "Christian Perspectives on the War on Terrorism and the Israeli-Arab Conflict." Mike Evans said, "The 9/11 Commission is investigating everything except the reason why 9-11 happened.The Holy Grail of understanding on which the 9/11 commission needs to investigate is moral relativism, the Ebola virus that dumbed down the CIA, the FBI, and the entire nation to the serious threat of al-Qaeda and terrorism."
On January 20th, 1993 when President elect, William Clinton, was sworn into office he chose as his inauguration scripture, Galatians 6:8 which declares, " For he that soweth to the flesh shall reap of the flesh corruption, but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap everlasting life."
Mr. Evans told the students at the Harvard School of Law that on February 26th, 1993, that Yigal Carmon, the former head of counter-terrorism for the Israeli government under Yitzhak Rabin at that time, briefed Pentagon officials that very day telling them that, "Islamic fundamentalism was an imminent threat to the United States." Carmen told Evans that the response from the Pentagon was that they "did not consider religion an imminent threat to our republic." That very day, Carmen flew into New York City, and was having a late lunch when the World Trade Center was bombed. "The actual bombing plan, if successful, would have killed as many as 250,000 people," Evans said.
Had they succeeded, February 26, 1993, not September 11, 2001, would be remembered as the most tragic day in American history. According to Evans, in President Clinton's radio address the day after the bombing, President Clinton never used the word "bomb" or "terrorist threat." He never brought the subject up in public again during his presidency, nor did he visit the site of the blast. Evans also stated that because of moral relativism, President Clinton chose the role of Neville Chamberlain, whose appeasement of Hitler in Munich in 1938, is credited with paving the way for the Nazi invasion of Poland that began World War II the following year.
Evans believes that America is still on a collision course because of moral relativism, and that the war on terrorism cannot be won without a war against moral relativism. He has appealed to the Chairman of The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States to hold hearings on moral relativism. "It's not the right wing, or even the left wing, that is ultimately responsible for 9/11. The entire bird is infested with moral relativism."
In the '90's, Bill Clinton attempted to transform Yasser Arafat into a Palestinian George Washington. He met with Arafat more than with any other diplomat during his presidency. Evans went on to say that Isser Harel, the founder of Israeli intelligence told him on September 23, 1980, that the first terrorist attack would be New York City, and America's tallest building. Harel said that America was developing a tolerance for terror, and the Islamic fundamentalists would strike "the most powerful city and its tallest buildings", which would be, in their minds, a Phallic symbol.
Evans said the ultimate attack was no surprise. "I was so convinced it would happen, that I wrote a novel in 1999, The Jerusalem Scroll, about Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, and Islamic Jihad's attempts to blow up Los Angeles and New York.
Evans wrote an article for the Jerusalem Post on September 30, 2001. Entitled America the Target, the article told the story of his meeting with Harel.
Evans is requesting an opportunity to testify before the 9/11 Commission on what he believes to be the root of the problem. "Relativism is an ideology as deadly as Nazism or Fascism. It dumbs down democracies, giving world terrorists a radical makeover, while weakening the nation by defining terrorists who blow up innocent people as 'freedom fighters with civil rights issues,'" said Evans.
