You are really into the blame game stuff big time, aren't you? You running out of people to hate today? If you want to take a more adult stance, I'd suggest trying using "reponsibility" for ones actions. Given our history of meddling in ME affairs, I'd say that a 9/11 type event was almost unavoidable. No blame, just the way it is.

Oh baloney. If that is the rationale used then European "meddling" has been FAR more prevalent in the ME than US involvement. The US never colonized the ME.
