Business as usual

[Don Corleone]

Ever consider why London got bombed? They sure don't "Hate your freedom." And they aren't inherantly evil. Assuming it was muslim extremists who did this, London was bombed because of it's association with America, it's colonial history, and a general angst against western oppression. Those bombs were an act of war, and the declaration was that they won't stand for what they see as past oppression and support of current oppression.

Now, I don't condone the attacks, but don't be ignorant. You need to address the roots, not the leaves.

If that's the case, why did the attack the WTC in 1993? The Khobar towers were a miliitary target (granted, we weren't actually at war with them, but as I'm sure you'll claim military targets are ALWAYS valid, I'll just skip this one), so let's move to the Kenyan & Tanzanian embassies? How dare the US open embassies in other countries?

Or is it your point that no matter what we do, we just deserve it? Defend ourselves, we're asking for it. Don't defend ourselves, we're asking for it. Why don't you go move over there if you think so highly of their cause?

I love how you claim you're not condoning the attacks, but that's exactly what you were doing.
