“It would be absurd to say that Peal Harbor was because the Japanese “hated” our freedom, no?”

True for Japan, but cultural changes associated with “America” are a big cause of Islamist anger.

“”The Japanese attacked us because of Sanctions and our policies in SE Asia.””

Ah, that’s old garbage.

They attacked us because they would assumed we would have intervened against their attacks to conquer SE Asia and Indonesia, then under French, Brit and Dutch control.

A grave miscaluculation on their part. The American public would not support a war to prop up old European empires.

A grave miscalculation on Al-Qaida's part too, thinking that we would merely lob a few missiles; I doubt they thought we invade Iraq though.

I don't buy the cultural changes argument; If that were the case, they'd be slaughtering European Atheist heathens by the truckload. Hell, that's where their cells are based out of.

I like how FOX is going to interview Paul LAST, however.
