Ted, let me restate. Most people are smart and compassionate enough to know that 9/11 was an evil, undeserved attack on innocent civilians and on free society as a whole. But there are some, a sizable minority (on the order of 25% in Europe), who still think the 9/11 hijackers were merely "freedom fighters" who were driven to terrorism because of the "imperialistic" actions of America. Therefore, they don't blame the hijackers themselves, but the powers that led to the conditions that made the hijackers the way they are. Like I said, the politics of victimization. Somehow, the terrorists couldn't help themselves, because they are supposedly the product of poor, dire conditions. And if not they themselves, then the society with which they identify. Tenchusatsu
