Well the unfortunate perception of many muslim are that they are being actrively targetted by the west financially and by 'culture creep' which erodes thier moral identity.. This is something they wish to fight and when you dont have the money or army to back you up the only way to fight is in ways like this.. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter...
If true free and fair one man one vote elections were held within Iraq the facts stand that the majority of the population would vote in a hard line muslim fundamentalist government controlled by the senior mullas and hard line religious nuts... The US will not allow that.. So essentially there is a US puppet government installed in a country with no true basis or right all done under the guise of democracy.. How many people died today in London and how many died in Iraq.. My TV is full of London, not heard todays Iraqi count..
Did you hear about Sundays botched US airstrike killing at least 17 civilians in Afganistan ??? Not a headline item on Faux news is it ?? So its barely newsworthy that a high firepower government can murder 17 people (civilians not insurgents) via an airstrike and the world doesnt even blink..
Dont let me sound like I am apologising for the actions today.. But I think most people have so little understanding of the world as filtered through western media that knee jerk (send em home) comments are just plain dumb..

Yes essentially we have attacked thier way of life.. we have done so financially and actually for 1000's of years via church and state.. We have done so especially for the last 60 or so years directly funding thier enimies.. We have done so in a way to erode thier religion and way of life..
Now whether 'ther' way of life is better or worse or not these are still realities and facts..
