Matt, I believe the assessment of blame regarding the 9/11 incident does not imply justification of the act. I think that is where we differ.

I understand your viewpoint however... as it is shared by the majority of Americans.

Nobody wants to conclude that the US could have in any way motivated the terrorists to the point where they would be willing to kill themselves in an effort to disrupt our society. We want to believe that it was entirely unprovoked, yet the animosity towards Western culture has been building for decades.

Whether or not our foreign policy in the Middle East is right or wrong is most certainly debatable. But, I think a truly conscientious objector would agree that 'it takes two to tango'.

Again, irregardless of who's to blame... I concur that there is absolutely no way to justify the killing of over 5000 people. Prince Alwaleed feels the same way.
