Why do people blame our war on terror for causing people to join hate groups like al Qaeda?
I wouldn't join the Black Panthers no matter how many crosses were burned in my yard. I wouldn't join them even if my kids were killed by Klansmen. People are inclined to join these groups out of years and years of brainwashing and promises of grand rewards. Terrorists are not created overnight.

Only an extremely illogical person would suggest that we "drove" members of A-Q to attack us. That kind of absurd reasoning is mind-boggling.
A friend of mine who is a serviceman told me something the other day that made a lot of sense-- he said: "(A-Q) members are willing to die to kill our American brothers and sisters. We, on the other hand, (Americans) are the only military that polices itself."
You can't measure members of A-Q by the standard by which we measure ourselves. These are evil men incapable of reason, who are willing to die if they can only take one or two American lives in the process.

KKK and Black pnaters are different from al-Q, al-Q is willing to bomb and kill innocent ppl, while the other 2 target 2 specific ppl who they consider inferior. PPL are brainwashed to join al-Q, they begin to belive that they are doing something good--that's why they are recurited at a young age

those people don't view the Invasion of Iraq as the war on terror. That is another story. Since they don't, our occupation of Iraq has proved to be an incredible recruiting ground for terrorists.

No, Martin Luther King said don't give in to hate.
A fine tradition. The context is different, but I don't see a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King leading large populations in the Middle East.

never,,, the same reason Bush blames Clinton for all his mistakes,, it seems we have a generation of hate,, probably some left overs from the generations before us,,, I think in most cases it is a learned behavior or a way of life,, it's not survival,, there is a better way forward, but not with force,, military or otherwise

The same as ...I will not publicly show HATRED for the President of the United States, regardless of his/her party affiliation. I'm Republican and I didn't do it with Billy Boy and I won't do it if they, the democrats, win in 2008. Only harm can come from HATRED.

You're a Republican, right?
Hard to imagine what sort of trauma led to that.
Incidentally, our "War on Terror" (pause for laughter) IS indeed recruiting fresh terrorists on the daily, according to every honest account. Remember how many Americans, on the heels of 9/11, wanted to go join the military and "get em back"? Kind of a similar psychology, huh? Too bad we invaded the wrong people.

Not me.
I have seen a very illogical response to Bush, however, from people who call themselves Liberatarians and moderates...
I am not willing to sell out America to liberals for any reason...

Jesse Helms caused me to leave the GOP. Remember him, a US Senator that supported segregation and George Wallace? I personally heard him refer to blacks as *******. But again, you do what you think is best for you...
