Cute. Now put it up next to a list of terrorist attacks sponsored by these countries or carried out by groups from them PRIOR TO these events. You want to make it even more one-sided...add body counts.

This "oh, they just did it because they were pissed at us and, well, can you really blame them?" defense of the massacre Tuesday is bullsh*t! If being a prosperous and freedom-promoting people is considered provocation, what are we to do? Become barbaric radicals like them so they will leave us alone? Be understanding of a dictator's need to poison and muder his own countrymen? Stand by as an entire region drives in against a people who we believe have legitimate claim on the land they occupy?

It's clear that the most successful propoganda campaign ever executed was the behind-the-scenes one during the 60's and 70's by the communists that has turned out a whole generation plus of spineless Americans who continually criticize one of the only countries that allows its citizens the right to do so. They are so convinced that the government is not to be trusted at all, that every action and word from it is to be met with skepticism, and that America is ultimately responsible for the evils of the world because we happen to have the most influence in it.

Try sticking up for the United States once in a while...it sticks up for you all the time.

At least Neville Chamberline can finally rest easy, he's finally been forgotten.

Tell you what. Why don't you post the terrorist attacks on the US with dates. You'll see that we replaced the democratically elected president of Iran with the dictatorial Shah in the 1950's. 20+ years before they took hostages. Our response: bomb them and aid Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war. That's just one example. I leave the rest to you as a history lesson. The attacks on 9-11 were are NOT justifiable. They were a dispicable act of mass murder. They are, sadly, explainable. So, go ahead and post away; you might end up changing your own opinion a bit.
