I read so many foolish comments on Y/A that state that America is the reason "more terrorists" are being trained and so on. As if these radical islamists would have just gotten a job instead of becoming a terrorist. "If we would just turn a blind eye to them and leave them alone...." So... remind me what we did to deserve 9/11? or the first attempt on the WTC, or the attack on the USS Cole, or attacks on our Embassies? What did Spain do to deserve the Subway attacks? After all, they fell to the peer pressure and pulled out of Iraq, the Subway bombings happened after they pulled out.

As much as this will burn you libs... America did not create terrorism or terrorists. Radical Islam has declared war on all those who do not believe as they do. Not just Americans, but ALL who do not believe as they do.

I find all your answers comical and like typical Libs... say what sounds good at the time. I can go back and look at thousands of answers that blame America for terrorists and terrorist attacks. You are definately the party of the criminal bears no responsibility. Is there plenty of cookies with all this kool aid in this party?

I deffinately agree that Islamic Terrorists make up a small percentage of Islam. I refuse to agree that we created that small percentage or even provoked that small percentage. Has anyone seen what a lot of these Muslim schools teach their children? To hate and destroy Americans... these are elementary school children... As I said before... for the libs to turn a blind eye to the issue and yes they also "blame America" for anything that creates any conflict in the world it is just sick... just look at the people they are so eager to deffend... Saddam and his network and it goes on....just look at the answers associated with Iraq

liberals hate america, liberals hate americans, liberals hate themselves. they want the US citizens to pay for their guilt in our successes. they dont believe that we deserve a thing! their answer, redistribute the wealth to the poor and illegal aliens so they can get more votes.

it is also hard not to blame every muslim for the terrorism. in my opinion, they support terrorism by their silence. i NEVER hear of one muslim group, or one muslim, in america denounce the crazy zealots of their religion for what they are doing. they are complicit in their silence. they have said it time and again, they are here to kill every infidel in the world. gee, i didnt see GWBs name anywhere in that statement, nor did i hear it as cause for all the decades of islamic terrorism, from any country.

Remember islamic terrorist make up a small percentage of all muslims. They are the ones that want to do us harm I hope you would agree. The reason they attack us is because (according to them) we have attacked their culture. I mean we attack their culture by setting up business in their country by corperations that you see here which are trying to expand their business in the middle east. Corperations like the Gap and McDonalds are trying to make money in the Middle East because they have money which is basically from oil. Those business may seem harmless to you and me, but its a attack on muslims religion, women aren't suppose to dress like Madonna on the Gap ads, muslims aren't suppose to eat pork sausages from McDonalds. Islamic extremist also think that the US is occupying the middle east in the same way the crusaders did. Again according to them we are raging a holy war by supporting Isreal and just being in the middle east its neighbors and its waters. The reasons may not make sense to you, but that is their logic. I'm not validatiing their arguement or trying to justify it I'm just saying that is how they think. Please don't blame muslims either because it specifically say in the Quran that muslims shall not kill the innocent people. I don't know the exact words but it does say it explicitly.

What did America do to deserve 9/11? From the terrorists' point of view, we have been interfering in the regional politics of the Middle-East for decades. We replaced the Shah of Iran after Iran had a revolution, and caused a second, and more radicalized, revolution. We consistently back Israel. More?

Keep in mind: had Iranians consistently messed with the election of Georgia governors, kept a "peace keeping" Iranian force stationed in South Carolina, and kicked out the Florida legislature, there would probably be some southerners who would strap on bombs and attack Tehran...

How do you honestly fail to see the obvious result of us getting attacked after our decades of "800 pound gorilla" international diplomacy?

Now I want that dude mike to show me where Iran has F-15's from us?
Here's their military hardware inventory lists.
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iran/weapons.htm
I dare him to find one single U.S. piece of hardware.

I also want him to show me where America put Saddam in power.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein
He was a Baathist. They took power through a coupe. With no help from us.
I also want him to explain to me how we gave Saddam WMD, biological, or chemical weapons. He was developing his own quite well thank you very much.
And we gave him military hardware? You mean all the T-55 and T-75 tanks made in Russia? Or the Mig 17's or 21's or 29's? Also made in Russia?

Everything mike said is false. Yes the CIA "assisted" Bin Laden" during the soviet invasions. But saying we created him is a benign if not idiotic answer. We were in the Cold War and would help anybody that was fighting against communism.
Bin Laden created Bin Laden.

Well? I've gotten one thumbs down. I presume from "mike". Yet he provides no links to prove me wrong otherwise?

Of course no one deserves to be attacked by terrorists. Nor do people in other countries deserve to have their own governments undermined by secret business cabals.

I don't blame America for the terrorists; but I have noticed that my fellow Americans are pretty stubborn about accepting the consequences of bad decisions made in their name.

I heard two people debating whether we were in Iraq because of 9/11 or Oil. They both agreed however that we had to defeat the Iraqi people. Sadly, too much television and self gratification leaves one without a clue. And currently we are being led off a cliff by the clueless.

aggie girl: is Bush a Liberal? He wants to encourage immigration, since it makes for cheap labor for his business pals. Get a clue.

No just George Bush and the 28% sheeple that support his policies. That leaves 72% as the majority which are Americans. It's simple mathematics you people can't seem to figure out with the results of last Novembers election.

What gets me is that the same people who gripe about the failings of America are the people who fight diligently for the "right" of any illegal alien who wants to cross the border and ride the system to do just that. It makes me wonder, if America is so bad, and if liberals care so much about "undocumented immigrants" why do liberals encourage people to come to America in the first place?

Well, let's see here! Bush & Co. failed to find the main culprit responsible for the 9/11 attacks (Osama bin Laden) and then attacked a country that was in no way responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The CIA has even said that, thanks to the war in Iraq, the global terrorist situation has actually been exacerbated, because the war has become a cause celebre among Muslim fundamentalists, and a whole new generation of terrorists is now being bred!

Why does the American military make up 90% of the fighting force in the War on Terrorism?

The government and mass media have indeed propagated a factually incorrect narrative of the motives of the terrorists to which you've fallen victim. We've been told that the attacks against us represent a theologically based nihilistic rage against the west, unrelated to actual historical occurrences, specific political grievances, or strategic objectives, but due entirely to people’s perverted religious interpretation of an ancient article of faith. In this context our enemies appear to operate not off of rational calculation or logical thought process, but based off of blind obedience to the doctrines of their own religious cult.

Despite this notion, terrorism comes less from religious or ideological predispositions, and more from historical experience, and political ambitions. Originally, American political entrance into the Middle East after world war two was viewed generally by Arabs as a positive thing. It meant the end of European colonization; a superpower in dire need of their natural resources but not a traditional European empire that would forcefully take those resources, but on the contrary would purchase those resource giving middle eastern nations a guaranteed source of income, and creating jobs for many people. As a result anti Americanism in the Arab world was not originally very prominent. However, religious passion became inflamed and political awakening struck the Middle East. Nationalist movements formed and people began to despise American backed regimes. The shah of Iran was put in power by the British and Americans. The CIA helped put Saddam Hussein in power. This turned out to back fire in 1979 when the Islamic revolution took place and Iranians targeted America for supporting a government that they generally disliked. In 1980 the USSR invaded Afghanistan and America came to its aid covertly. But when the war ended America left Afghanistan in ruins creating the rightful perception that Afghani's were little more than pons in our chess game with the Soviets. In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait threatening America's oil supply and threatening to create a disadvantages strategic situation for us in the Persian Gulf. America talked an awful lot about liberation and emancipation and freedom, but left a tactical victory strategically inconclusive and geo politically counter productive by leaving Saddam in power after having destroyed Iraqis infrastructure and only working government, and placing harsh economic sanctions on Iraq. Again the perception became, rightfully so, that the talks of liberation and emancipation were little more than a covering for American military action to preserve Arab natural resources for America and to keep the strategic situation favorable to America (although nobody can argue that weakening the only counterbalance to an anti American regime in Iran was favorable). Bush the first didn't use the tremendous political clout he enjoyed after the fall of the USSR and the victory over Iraq to push forward the Middle Eastern stalemate, but at least was neutral. Clinton as well as the Republican held congress, because of the Jewish and Israeli lobby, became overtly pro Israel, even though Palestinian suffering at the hands of their Israeli counterparts was very grievous. Clinton also doubled American troop placements in Saudi Arabia angering Muslims.

Bush the second’s historically misguided foreign policy has made Arab Muslims identifies us with European colonialization of the past and current Israeli policy against the Palestinians. This is why there is so much hate for America in the Muslim world. Bin Laden's attacks against us come not from his understanding of the qu'ran, but from his objective to rid Saudi Arabia of an American presence. His ultimate hope is to reestablish the Islamic caliphate, which is a goal so ambitious that, to be sure, is impossible to do, even if America didn't exist at all. But by acting harshly to 9/11 and invading countries that didn't attack us we've created more terrorism than we've solved, and this is an undeniable fact that is only disputed by those who are blind to the truth.

I voted for George W. simply because it is his war and didn't want a change in the middle of it. That said, I see nothing comical about the responses to your question. Most are very intelligent, well thought out answers which you refuse to believe are real.
