There were over 3,000 people from ALL over the world killed on 9-11 in the US. There were many more people who were injured that day. Do you think that each of those people had families that saw them die? Do you think that their friends and the rest of the world saw them die?

Do you think that people everywhere in the US were outraged?

How many of those people strapped on suicide belts and went to kill children?


None. With the US military under their control they had much better options. I've not claimed that everyone that suffers turns into a suicide bomber. Some who suffer and have no better recourse do turn into suicide bombers, however. I was trying to provide an example of a theoretical situation where that might be the case.

Your point is what? Is it that people who have the largest military industrial complex in the world behind them can use it to extract revenge against their enemies rather than turn into suicide bombers and do it themselves? Well, duh.
