So you’re saying that the conduct of US foreign policy led to the events of 9/11, right?

Nice try.

I'm saying that weakness encouraged them to try for a big attack on our soil. Weakness in Somalia, weakness after the Khobar Towers, the embassies, the Cole, etc.

These guys are just following the same strategy that any military architect with a brain follows: Take out your most dangerous opponent first. We're not only the superpower, we're a center of modernity. We are more dangerous to them than any other nation, and they thought they could take us out with a relatively small death toll.
