What's really sad about all this, is that 10 years from now, a bunch of orphaned Iraqi kids are going to grow up hating the West for killing their parents/relatives and possibly strike back at an Allied city. Morons with no sense of history will say "Those bastards! They attacked us because they're jealous of our freedom...yeah, that's it!". Then we'll attack them back (by 'them', I mean the entire country even though it's a select group responsible) and feel all self-rightious.

Terrorists aren't just born terrorists. Something happens to create this sort of fanaticism, whether it's a potato famine, separatists, bombings in the '70's or whatever. We're guilty of the same sort of attitude. Our culture today (thanks to Oprah and Dr. Phil) is programming us to be irresponsible little babies with no regard for our actions, because we can always blame others ("I'm overweight because my parents didn't hug me", "I ate my neighbours because Daddy worked late") for the way we behave rather than just 'be a man and take it on the chin' or 'think for yourself'
