The US meddling in the middle east is the consequence of the Terrorists and freedomfighters so it's a viscous circle.

which is exactly my point...
the USA has killed so many innocent people in iraq, there are going to be atleast SOME that turn there anger into terrorist plots against the USA.
Its ignorant to think they arent.
So then where was the revenge for the sailors onboard the US ship sunk/damaged off iraq several years ago?
agreed, Islamic fundamentalists do hate many other nations,
but the USA has very very PUBLICALLY ILLEGIALLY murdered many muslims..
Is it illegal to shoot back?

I think he's talking about the 30,000 or so unarmed civilians killed in Iraq and written off as collateral damage.

Let’s make one thing explicitly clear here:
The USA does not cause terrorism; it’s simply the target of terrorism.
Islamic fundamentalists (terrorists) target the USA for many reasons, but the USA did not make them fundamentalists or extremists. Islamic extremism has existed since the very inception of the religion itself, literally 1500 years before the USA existed. Muhammad himself would be considered an extremist if he lived in today’s day and age, so how can the USA be the cause of these extremists?
The USA is just the popular target. It’s the most powerful, richest nation on the planet and has international influence as such; it’s a natural target for these terrorists.
These savages would be killing somebody, even if the USA didn’t exist. Hey, when you want to take over the world, which enemies do focus your attacks on? The ones that stand in your way of course: America and its allie

Tell those people who were targeted around the world and not many Americans were around. For example in Jordan. They seem to be killing more non-Americans than Americans.

I am not defending them, if they can choose, American would be their first target.
After you condemn them, before you kill them, think about it, why? Can you kill all of them?
Originally posted by deltaboy
I condem people who spout hatred of killing non-Muslims as well as Muslims who dont share the same ideology.

When you bombed Vietnamese just because they have different ideology, that's about ideology.
When you helped to rob someone's homeland, no ideology involved.
Originally posted by deltaboy
We bombed North Vietnam because they were invading South Vietnam. And of course their ideology is in conflict with South's. Same thing for North Korean invasion of South Korea. Cold war. Democracy vs. Communism.

When you played your civil war, do you mind other country drop bombs on you?
Originally posted by deltaboy
When we "played" our civil war. We wouldnt mind other nations bombing the Confederate States. But bombing the North, now who would do that? In the name of slavery perhaps? Im sure Britain and France considered powerful nations and very anti slavery, back then wouldnt do such a thing.

You scored a point, but what if some country invaded your country before your civil war in the name of anti-slavery.

Do you mean the USS Cole? That was an Al Quada attack in Yemen, nothing to do with Iraq.
