Does that make clear where I stand in all this stuff?

NO, first you equated getting mad over 911 with hating all Arabs or all Muslims. Another strawman dodge. I didn't ask you why you weren't angry at all Muslims or all Arabs. I't not angry at all Muslims either. Hell, I'm supportive of what we're doing for the majority of the Afghans and Iraqis.

The issue I asked you to consider is why you're not angry over 911 (and you said you weren't) yet you are outraged over a handful of wrongdoings by American soldiers (which were punished by our own military)?

I told you why I am not angry over 9/11. I don't understand how you can be angry over something so heinous. You get angry if someone blows you off or if AMZN sends you the wrong book, but how can you be angry when someone flies a plane into a building and kills thousands of people? I can get angry at the religion that encouraged such extremism, or at the gov'ts that helped foster such radicalism but for the perpetrators themselves, I can only feel pity.

You might look at why theres a difference in your feelings over these things.

Why am I angry at the American soldiers? Because they felt they could do whatever they wanted since they were in control. They weren't motivated by misguided religious fervor but by their base needs.

Maybe the more important question is why do you think what they did was okay?
