When did I ever insinuate or imply that the attack on 9/11 were our fault? When did I ever say I hated america? I thought this was the land of the free, where I can say whatever I want, without fear of oppression?
They obviously have problems with us, for whatever reasons. Are you naive enough to believe that they would start a war with absolutely no grievance whatsoever? Regardless or not of whether we agree with their grievances, they have them regardless. Like I said, every culture has their own moral interpretation.
I'm not patting them on the back for attacking our country. In the perfect world, noone would attack anyone. But wake up, and realize that this is not a perfect world, and never will be. The world is comprised of countless cultures, and there is obviously going to be a clash between us. Even if they dont have a specific grievance, it still doesn't matter. Countries attack other countries all the time, to gain precious resources. This isnt anything new, its just plain Darwinism. People dont start wars for fun, they are always either attacking or defending themselves, and this is no different.
When a countries actions start to conflict with our own interests, then something needs to be done about it. Policing the world is not the answer.
<< The operative differences are that those missions were carried out in times of war and were against defended targets which had definitive military value. >>
Its a war when someone starts one, not when they both shake hands and agree. Someone has to start it, and they just did. If I was an islamic fundamentalist, I probably couldnt think of a better place to start than the world trade center. Killing our entire populations morale by instilling fear is certainly worth a ton of military value.
