And what, in your wisdom, have you deduced is the reason we were attacked on 9/11? How did we bring that on ourselves, would you say?
I am sure there are many reasons but I would tend to listen attentively to,and read carefully what,those persons and groups who claimed they were responsible said. I will just state the first two complaints they iterated. They claimed that the United States imposed their 1)morals and 2)values on them in any and all treaties,agreements,pacts,contracts and responses to requests for assistance.
A case in point regarding morals would be the response for medical assistance in the camps that were set up for refugees in the Kosovar dispute. It was said that before they could have access to antibiotics,they were sent contraceptives and birth control pills to distribute,this in accordance with some Women's Reproductive Rights agreements that had to be signed as a condition of medical support.
Regards values,they stated our materialistic,consumer driven mentality undergirded those same pacts,agreements,contracts and etc..
I recall when Iraq was down at the Kuwait border,discussions about how the Anglo/American establishment elites after WWI had divided up countries in the mideast. Iraq was left without access to water because Kuwait was "created" giving the English,who "crowned" members of a family sympathetic to them a big advantage.
For a short while,immediately prior to Desert Storm,our leaders must have forgotten who owned what and that English money was in the Kuwait banks. I say this because it is well documented that Saddam had asked April Glaspie if the U.S. would mind if they went down to the border to resolve some problems they were having down there. I had heard that Kuwait had been tunneling under the border in order to pipe Iraq's oil into Kuwait. Glaspie said she had talked to her superior and it would be no problem. At that point somebody must have remembered that English money was in Kuwait banks and then all hell broke loose.
As an old Human Resource manager,I am convinced that rules must be fair,clear and doable and anything less is going to create a lot of difficulties. As I said before,we are a group or groups of imperfect humans living in a world we didn't make and we need to pursue the truth,to do less is to invite trouble. I think we too often invite trouble.
