and you think that your asking your self serving questions on this board is going to change anything other than to get you a few points in the message board college bowl that this is for you, if your basic premise is true? and why don't you fill us in on what it is exactly that these "more at work" forces are, iyo? you are great with the cryptic, the innuendo, the 60s slogans, but lets get to the meat. sum it all up for us, from soup to nuts.

<< If you think that the United States or it's surrogates in the Middleast are innocent of not creating some of this hatred, you are not paying attention. >> The argument that the United States is not perfect, and might make mistakes, does not matter right now. The US, and 60+ other nations, have been attacked by an evil, demented enemy, that must be destroyed, for the sake of all humanity. The people of every country would greatly benefit, if these Islamic extremists, and their organizations were destroyed. It's not going to be easy, but we have no choice. The terrorists have shown the world that they have no human values. They are driven by hatred and madness. Will the free, and civilized, nations be up to the task? If we don't strike hard and fast, the entire planet may have to cope with greater losses in the future.

This is a difficult thought to have but: Even if we have done things that have encouraged this (which no doubt we have, such as training of the robotic suicidal terrorists in highly sophisticated organizational, tactical, brainwashing, and propaganda techniques, making them incredibly effective at evading detection and wreaking devastation on our homeland), the truth is that we must, in any case, seize and defeat these terrorists. They are now on automatic pilot, following their leaders. We have to change their leaders, change their minds, or kill them, at least the suicidal ones. Hopefully most of the cell supporters and nation-states are not suicidal, and will be amenable to discussion, rather than absolute destruction. Regardless, we no longer have any option but to act.
