That hate us because we support Israel. And why do we support Israel? Why is it even any of our business?

It's also impossible. 'Al Queda', the name on everyone's lips, is not a nice organised gang hanging out at a HQ ready to be negotiated with or attacked or captured or stopped. They are a web of loosely or not-even connected cells ranging from highly organised terrorist groups to groups of 2 or 3 nutcases plotting in their mother's basement. I suppose in a way it's true to call Bin Laden their leader, but he is not a leader in a George Bush ay or even a Hitler way, he is more like a figurehead, an almost mythical scapegoat. Most of these terrorists blowing shit up have never met him, have never been to Afghanistan, have never been trained by anyone, they just took it upon themselves to do this shit. It's a cancer that is out of control. The idea of Al Queda as a tangible and defeatable enemy is an illusion. So they can't be negotiated with, and they can't be beaten either. I think the best offensive would be to tighten up home security, multiply intelligence effots, and basically just defend. You cannot wipe out terrorism.That hate us because we support Israel.

They hate us because we are not Allah-worshiping mindless devotees to their religion, and because we have the freedom to choose who, where, when, and why we want to worship, or not to have any deity at all.
They also hate us because of the fucked up things we have done to them over the years. Stop buying into the propaganda. I'm not saying I support these fuckers, far from it, but being here in America and listening to the media and (as a result of the media) the average man on the streets views on the situation make me want to scream. Every time I hear George Bush or Tony Blair giving one of their freedom speeches I roll my eyes.They hate us because we are not Allah-worshiping mindless devotees to their religion, and because we have the freedom to choose who, where, when, and why we want to worship, or not to have any deity at all.
