I think he is explaining- he isn't saying we should leave the region- he is saying they will not cease, and he is right. The rest of the world does have a right to self determination (imo)- he doesn't say the "people" do, he is talking about countries. Clearly the Muslims working for Bin Ladin feel revolted enough to kill themselves in the service of their cause, that is pretty revolted. I didn't read the article as saying they are right to feel revolted (that would be mitigation), he is merely laying out the why. That we may have played into their revulsion does not mitigate their actions- he said we need to remember (which I interpret as understand).

I don't read it as an apologia for terrorists.
