You are missing 1 degree of seperation. You missed the cause of 9-11. Convenient because it fits deep rooted hatred of muslim people by many.

9-11 did not happen without a cause. The cause is NOT that radical islamists decided to bomb the US for a culture difference. That is complete horseshit thought up as a cover story for the real reason of many terrorist events.

If you are not going to look at the history of events leading to 9-11 and beyond, then you don't wish to stop future 9-11s. You and others only want to act out your hatred of people of a different culture because a small group of them got pissed off at French, British, and US aggression in their countries over the last 150yrs.

A small group of muslims were able to finally fight back against countries with vastly superior military weapons and training to say "Enough".

That is the history of 9-11. Nothing else.

You can delude yourself that those who carried out 9-11 acted without cause but that denies history and hindsight.

Iraq is a different animal altogether. Iraq has had a civil war for 60 years since the British left and the Ba'athe party took power in Iraq.

The US military is not fighting a war with anyone in Iraq. They are attempting to act as policemen (which is not their function) in the war between Sunni and Shia. So any soldier who is proud to take part in that aspect in Iraq is a fool. But the Bush admin set them up to be fools. Its sad to see our servicemen believing the con job the Bush admin has told them.

Quasi .. you and others need to look at the root cause of a problem rather than the surface.
