It is not. It is nothing more than a ploy to subvert the rights and appropriate the assets of European Americans. There would be no War on Terror had the Gov. of the USA not done two things:
1) Give one sided support to one side in a nasty tribal fight over land in the Middle East; and
2) invade Iraq.


So Islamists are not independent actors making their own choices? They are mere puppets displaying Pavlovian responses to US actions? So 9/11 was all OUR fault?

Sheesh. The old fashioned colonialists were less patronizing to the wogs than this.

Islamism has been around since long before Israel was even created in 1948, let alone got any US support (only after 1967), and hatred of the West has been going strong since Napolean invaded Egypt in 1798.

Just because YOU don't know history doesn't mean it never happened.

There they go again. Blame America first.

9/11 and the many other terrorist attacks on Americans (e.g. embassy bombings) happened well before the invasion of Iraq.
