whats the reasons behind our war with al-qaeda is it our foreign policy?

Question

Michael Scheuer (a 22-year CIA veteran. He served as the Chief of Alec Station, the Osama bin Laden Unit at the Counterterrorist Center from 1996 to 1999) list Six reasons why we are at war with al-Qaeda watch the video in the following link and give me your opinion thanks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYPYz40IkXU

Answer 1

I don't watch youtube. I have an opinion that is just as important as the next guy. Al Queda , REGARDLESS OF HOW IT STARTED, IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS TO RULE ! Its fringe belief is that democracy is evil and their belief in Islam is the only way to live. If you disagree with them , they will kill you. That pretty much goes against everything America stands for.

Answer 2

They ( US present government ) think Al -Queda is responsible for the 911 attacks and all of the other terrorist acitivities in the world. Now I will watch your video. Ok watched the video and I believe, like Michael Scheuer that his six points are correct. The USA is over there protecting Israel interests, they are after oil, they are in Arab lands where they should not be, involved in working against Islamic interests in countries they ought not to be in and they are selling a bill of goods to the American people in order to do so. Speading propaganda that these people do not like our way of life is bogus, they don't like having the American government control their lands and this will not last forever. Russia prevents Chesnia from becoming an independent state, China controls sections of their lands as they have done for years and these are all anti democracy acts that they and the USA have been pulling on people for years. Why? The answer is control. Who is in control? This is yet another example of something I studied in grade 13 history in highschool called,"US manifest destiny." It has occurred periodically throughout history but what it really comes down to in simple terms is, " minding your own business" Good question, tough answers required but in the name of democracy, true democracy Mr. Scheuer speaks the truth, I think.
