<The whole question is, "why do these people hate us so much when we don't even know who they are and care even less, and don't even give a shit about them or their religion or their God-forsaken hellhole of a country? And why the f* do they keep blaming us for their problems? Do we blame them for our problems?">
CB, when rich people pay thugs who torture and steal from swarms of people, those being robbed look upstream to find the source of their agony and anger. I suppose you know that pretty much ALL of Osama's income all his life has come from the USA either via direct commercial activity via his Dad's construction business, or from funding by the CIA [from your taxes which you voted on] during the 1980s and latterly from supporters who get income from oil].
When the rich people say things like you wrote and continue funding their suffering and frustration, the put upon understandably draw the rich person's attention to the problems they are causing [they often use a 4 x 2 or any handy weapon].
There is a millennia and eons long history of the alpha citizens not caring about what effects they have on those at the bottom of the heap [often slaves whose very lives are at the whim of the owners - such as in the USA not all that long ago; heck, even Condoleezza Rice grew up with demands that she accept second-class citizenship] and there is an equally long history of the people at the bottom of the heap eventually sacrificing their lives to resist those at the top of the heap. There was a shipboard mutiny for example by slaves enroute to the USA.
Those at the top of the heap never understand why they aren't loved and admired by the filthy scum, whoever they are and we don't even know who they are and couldn't care less who they are or what is happening in their lives and "don't give a shit about them or their religion", at the bottom of the heap, who live in a "God-forsaken hellhole of a country" with weird fatalistic religions and so on.
Those low-life seething masses of human flotsam should get the "f*" out of our way while we take the oil which is rightfully ours [or God would have given those who live on top of the oil an SUV to drive].
We are actually being attacked not "by people from one of the few places in the Middle East that doesn't have oil". We are being attacked by people who in fact are from the places which do have oil. The money to fund the attacks is coming from the SUV owners who pay the oil owners who pay the construction companies which are owned by people who pay the attackers. It's all very Karmic.
You and I might not like it, but while there is an ignorant, indifferent, rich, aristocratic, top of the heap and the bottom of the heap who are Palestinians in refugee camps who were, I suppose, displaced by the Zionists set up by the USA, Britain and the United Nations [a decidedly undemocratic institution with flimsy moral foundations] in a brand new religiously-based nation, where the Palestinians used to live, I can understand why quite a lot of them choose to die while showing their attitude to their suppression and lack of Enduring Freedom. Which doesn't mean I agree with mass murder by the Palestinians or their supporters [understanding why a crocodile or shark kills doesn't mean agreeing that the crocodile is conducting a moral campaign]. I am simply pointing out one of the reasons that things have happened as they have and why pounding Osama into mush and dirt won't solve a lot of our problems [though it will help as he has obviously adopted mayhem and Jihad as his life's work].
Religious cranks are always dangerous and they will continue to murder and maim even when the United Nations actually does something constructive about sorting out Israel and Palestine [and a lot more besides]. In the USA, extreme Christians murder to defend the right to life of human zygotes. They think that makes sense. The irony escapes them. The irony of your comments has escaped you. The irony of Communist cranks being 'for the proletariat' then setting about exterminating them [and a lot more besides] escapes them too. We are now dealing with the aftermath of the confluence of Capitalism, Communism and Islam in Afghanistan. It's quite a mess to tidy up!
"Do we blame them for our problems?" Actually, yes, all too often.
If you have any other questions, I'll be glad to give you the answers. I have them all!
Rome wasn't built in a day, but we have started construction.

PS: Yes, I know that "true" Christians and "true" Moslems don't conduct murder, but who gives out the official "Seal of Truth"? |
