"There is no doubt that things are vastly more complex than what can be explained by American "meddling". The horrible attack in India, with 200 dead and who knows how many injured, is but one example."

Why would you associate this particular attack in India with the results of American interference abroad. If you paid any attention to India, you know that they have had domestic problems in Kashmir for decades far preceding 9/11 or Bin Laden.

Just because the term terrorism is used does not mean that the issues and grievances are related. In fact, this is exactly the problem with an ambiguous term like "terrorism" in that it allows the bundling of unrelated events into convenient Orwellian packages that can then be presented to uninformed fools as threats to their well being, though in reality these threats are used to advance the aims of the few in power.

Domestic upheaval and violence has existed since the beginning of time. Let's not forget that the British considered the "Sons Of Liberty" terrorists whereas many American colonialists considered them freedom fighters.

Also, in an area that you seem familiar with, don't you believe that Chechnya was a problem before 9/11? If Chechnya weren't as resource rich and strategically located, it likely would be a separate state at this time and we very likely wouldn't be talking about Islamic terrorism from that area.
