Errr... it wasn't Americans in that car. It's almost certainly not Americans who left those bombs in London, either.
Quite honestly, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are used as excuses - remember what happened before them? Those planes crashed into the WTC, the Pentagon and that field? Remember what happened prior to 9/11? (The car bomb outside the WTC, the USS Cole bombing, the attacks on US Embassies in 1998)
Whether we stay in Iraq/Afghanistan or not, terrorists will still find an excuse as they did before either of these conflicts started. The sad thing is that some people believe that leaving Iraq/Afghanistan will make everything ok... I sincerely doubt it will. There's no magic formula for stopping terrorism.

it's not inconceivable that the government could have goaded Muslims into doing it and provided them with the means.

the law abiding Muslim population will be the biggest losers in the long run.

Terrorists are the biggest enemy to muslims more than anyone else.

Muslim fundamentalists shouldn't resort to violence in this manner to achieve their goal, there are much better ways to do this with non-violence.
the evils of america and uk are the tools of persuasion used to convert them.

These attacks in England are being perpetrated by real terrorist and if you cant see that then you must be clueless. I will admit 7/7 is highly suspicious but these guys are the real deal. To all who accuse the United States of being evil terrorist. First we have been attacked many times by Arab terrorist long before we attacked any Arab country. We fight for freedom and halve helped many nations in their fight for the same. We give billions of dollars each year in aid to nations while our own people could use that money. When a country has a major problem who do they call for help? One of the only countries who halve tried to rule the world was England. Americans are not getting any oil, We are paying more for it do to our confronting terrorist states. Most Americans thought we should halve left Iraq right after we got Saddam but no we are trying to rebuild a nation and not leave Iraq to be ran over by Iran. If the Arab extremist want to see terror then let them try to car bomb places in the U.S. Americans will drag Arabs out of their homes and shoot them in the streets and our government wont be able to stop it. Thats why America is not being attacked. After 9/11 Bush could halve nuked Afghanistan or Iraq and know one would have said squat and to be quite frank thats what Americans wanted at the time. Take a good look at history and ask yourself who is evil? The U.S. , England or Arab terrorist.

your most honestly makes no sense at all, and I apologize but it kinda makes me think your grasp of politics and current events are somewhat limited.

So you think it might be Americans who did this? Are you serious?

The fact that you seem to think leaving Iraq and Afghanistan would work as a 'miracle cure' makes me question your grasp of politics and current events.
Perhaps you've completely misunderstood or misread what I've written: I'm not making any kind of comment on the legality or morality of Iraq and Afghanistan or any other conflict. All I'm saying is that, even if we leave, terrorists aren't just going to go away. If you think they'll do that then you're very naive.

If you think current policies are at fault, what alternatives do you propose?

it's not only muslims.
You are falling into the same trap.
Look at Rosie O'Donnell.
yes this is very relevant to the topic
Sunni legislator Abdul-Nissan al-Janabi said Saturday he is quitting Parliment and joining the 'Resistance' because the political process has failed.
...(he further says)...There is no alternative in Iraq other than quitting the political process and returning to armed resistance
because Americans and Iranians are running Iraq

The timing is peculiar...right when Gordon Brown took office. He's almost being forced to keep the same line as Tony Blair...his country is under attack. If he was even considering changing course on the war on Terror, that'll have to wait.
I wonder who would profit or be in interested in that?
