Put another way: Does our mission to seek out and kill all terrorists everywhere make us terrorists? Though we abhor the methods of Islamic extremeists, is there any possibility that their greivances may be worthy of investigation and calm analysis?

One theory: the Saudi highjackers attacked the U.S. because they didn't like our presence in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf war. Another theory: they attacked to give Bush a (sloppy) reason to invade Iraq. Did the Iraqis ask for us to invade? S**t happens.

No, no previous response, just northern eurpoean colonization and exploitation since the Crusades.

Reason and Logic is in your question. American civilians did not deserve to be killed on 9/11 - as a matter of fact no one deserves to be killed whether it is an American Soldier, an Arab, Jew or Palestinian. The alleged hijackers of the planes on 9/11 were Saudis in the majority. What followed was a disastrous American foreign policy in the history of the USA.
American Intel should have concentrated with getting Bin Laden, and Saudi extremists should have been checked. All the resources now wasted in Iraq would have been utilized to defeat the clear and present danger.
What do the American politicians do? They go out and actually cause a power vacuum in the middle east (Saddam Hussein, who was evidently not a threat to America). No suitable authority fit to control the multiplex of ideologies in Iraq is available. You would imagine the CIA were aware of the divisions in Iraq. Now almost 2 million Iraqis have since fled the war, and guess where they will end up seeking Asylum? Great Britain and USA. And thanks to the wisdom leadership of Bush and Blair and their "great concerns" for peace in the world, they have created a hell hole in Iraq where radicalism is now at fever pitch. Can you believe, Osama bin Laden is not a priority now, because Iraq is evidently the big agenda at the moment?
Just what are these so called "civilized" leaders strategy? Instead of seeking and destroying alqaeda, they go out and help to create dozens more dangerous extreme groups. The strategy now is diplomacy and dialog, but instead there are threats made towards Iran and Syria. What are these leaders doing? Why can't they negotiate and give diplomacy a chance after all that is what the UN is all about.
Bush and Blair will be responsible for the suffering of the world today and tomorrow.

I hope it escalates it. The terrorists have been striking us and our interests around the world for decades, and we've not been responding until 9/11.

can you tell me what the tenants in the WTC did to deserve what happened to them on 9-11? what did America do to deserve it?
