Well me and a few friends were discussing the "War on Terror"
and it's justification. After we decided that the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan are two completely different wars, we decided Iraq was unjustified, but Afghanistan was somewhat justified. (According to them, I still think its unjustified) My reason being that I'm guessing they had legitimite reasons for hating the US. Most likely our overstepping our boundries in foreign politics, any specific examples of this? Any other reasons they might hate us?

well mate the war on terror is a war about economical untruest in the middle east , The US oil consumption is massive so u try to secure u r resources need for the future .
Tho the holy war is when foreign forces enter Muslim country's
they fight against them until they win and the foreign forces leave .
They fight for freedom do not forget the US attacked Iraq under violation of International law and the US and it s alleys feeling the heat now in Iraq and politically .
The war in Iraq is under no means justified !
I am Turkish and we fight the PKK the Kurdish workers Party since 30 years then thousands have did on both sides
They hide in northern Iraq train plan and attack people in Turkey with deadly and terrible consequences . They are Terrorists and we can not fight them because we can not cross the border .
The US dose not want to destabilize the region and in the mean time terrorist train to kill there Owen religious kinds Muslims .
The US calls it the war on terror It is a war of economical interests dose not matter where in the middle east a war on terror is

According to Osama Bin Laden, the 9/11 attacks were in retaliation for U.S. military bases in Saudi Arabia. The bases were established by the first President Bush in support of the '90 Gulf War, but the bases were never closed. Then president Bush assured the King of Saudi Arabia that the bases were short term. He lied. The 1st attack on WTC, the U.S.S. Cole, 2 embassies in Africa, and 9/11 were all because of those bases. 3 presidents refused to close them.
Current president Bush finally closed them a few years ago and the attacks stopped.

The bottom line is that the US is not a Muslim country, and therefore evil and worth destruction. There are passages in the Qur'an which can be cited to justify this view. Iraq, as you have discerned, is a different matter altogether: the bottom line on Iraq is that it had WMD (it used them), it was required by the cease-fire agreement in 1991, as well as by a dozen subsequent UN resolutions to get rid of them in an accountable manner (it didn't), and after 9/11, Bush concluded, not unreasonably, that the possibility of such weapons falling into crackpot hands was too great a threat to be tolerated. What happened to them? See:

So it is always our (the US's) fault. UFB! You can argue the rational for Iraq no problem there, but Afghanistan?
OBL came to hate the US because Saudi Arabria let us position US forces there during the 1st Gulf war. That is his stated main reason.
So with your logic, if I or a group of people feel another country's foreign policy makes me hate that country I can go kill 3000 of their citizens?
Where is that question that liberals do not use logic?

That's just brilliant. Blame America first. We are the best country in the world. We have the best economy. We have freedom of choice, job opportunities, and a beautiful country. You should ask your own self why you have the need to knock the US.
The radical muslim crazies want to take over the world and impose Islamic law on everyone. The reason: they are just plain crazy.
Don't blame the US. Blame the radicals. They have no right and no justification for killing anyone or taking over any country. And they especially do not have a right to do it in the name of a religion.

Al-queda is not a group it means 'the base' it's a place where mercenaries went to sign up to fight the Russians during their invasion of Afghanistan, so as there details could be sent back to their families if they died in the conflict.
Al-queda the terrorist group is just propaganda by the USA to create fear and gain support for their un-just war for oil.

No matter what transgressions the US may have committed in foreign policy, NO ONE appointed al-queerda as the avengor of those acts.
Using your logic, I should be allowed to kill my neighbor, because his uncle used to go to Catholic Church, and I hate the pedophile priests. What, you say? No connection? Exactly.
al-queerda flying into the WTC had no connection with whatever they were claiming as their grievance. And whatever the grievance was, it was someone else's.
They hate us b/c obl is a mass-murdering megalomaniac who could not accept his loss of power with the retreat of the Soviets.

they don't care if you are not Muslim. they don't care if you are free. For Gods sake why are most Americans so brain dead.
The reason they hate the US is because you Americans support Israel. They can do no wrong. They instigate war with Palestine.. .... its never ending. Get rid of Israel and get rid of a lot of the mid easts problems.
Americans are so arrogant they believe everyone wants what they have or they hate them for what they have... good lord they are some dumb people.

Because the CIA ( oil interests) pays them too.
The middle east needs a constant enemy to justify the prices you and I pay at the pump.
Those of you who still believe in the terrorist crap...need look no further than the connivance of our own government.
Terrorist acts and acts of military aggression are morally repugnant. Those committing these crimes deserve to face justice. Regrettably, as evidenced by the poignant example of Iraq, the leaders of the United States have been committing war crimes and acts of terrorism for years without consequence. While the US has rendered justice upon its attackers throughout its tenure as the world's superpower (and has rendered a grossly misplaced justice on the "terrorists" by invading Iraq), the rest of the world has had little choice but to turn the other cheek when it comes to the profiteering, imperialism, and state-sponsored terrorism perpetrated by America's Oligarchy. Acting with impunity and arrogance, America's leaders have an unprecedented military might at their disposal, possess a nuclear arsenal powerful enough to destroy the world thousands of times over, ignore international law but impose it on others, use the UN to inflict damage on other nations but openly defy its rules, hoard the world's riches and resources, defile the Earth which sustains us, support ruthless dictators, and employ terrorism through the CIA. George Bush knows why they hate us, and he likes it......
