Wrong! ALL of the hate from the middle east stems from a religion that demands the World be subjugated to it. Those governments you refer to merely oppress their "subjects", just as we would be subjugated, based on the tenets of that religion.
Oh, one further observation: Since when does being against the involvement of a country in one’s own ‘area of influence’ justify the flying of aircraft into buildings within that country, and killing innocent civilians? Is that a legitimate response?
If not, how can one then suggest that those attacked should accept their culpability for its act?
I frankly don’t care what the purposes of radical Islam are. They attacked us on our soil in an act of war (even Dr. Paul has named it such), murdered innocent civilians, as part of an ongoing Jihad against the West. We are in our rights, both Constitutionally and morally, to seek them out wherever they exist and destroy them.
I disagree. I think any religion becomes corrupted and hate filled when it is placed under political control. Islam was from the beginning, Mohammad was a conquerer and was both the head of state and the head of his religion - a rather horrible mix. Perhaps we are saying the same thing, but I think state sponsored religion, Madrases etc.. stems from the state, from the corrupt governments of those countries, countries we continue to give billions upon billions of dollars to.
