*yawn* another dumb, shortsighted conversation about cause and effect relationships that assume radical islam and extremists only exist because of the US or "the west".
why is it that people just can't understand that people who exist in extreme poverty are easily swayed by insane, pyschopathic and sociopathic people who understand a simple and fundamental element of leadership and power - create an enemy (the west, christians, jews etc) and position yourself as the one fighting for the people, saving the people. every dictator has done the same. is hitler different than osama bin laden? i see no difference. I see two people dedicated to war, fighting and ultimate victory at any cost, with any justification.
if islamic fundamentalists did not have "the west" as a rallying cry. it would be "christians", it would be "jews", it would be "big business"... in fact, as always in politics and power, it would be anything that people want to hear. the west is always going to be a target of fundamentalists as long as they continue to exist in poverty stricken shitholes, living in caves and farming food from a pile of rocks... i mean afterall, since when do people accept responsibility and blame themselves for their problems?
you think the war in Iraq is the "cause" of the london attacks? - really? there have been terrorist attacks for centuries. there is always some "cause"... there is always some justification. there is always some rationalization. what caused 9/11? what caused the first WTC attack? The USS Cole? etc etc etc. does it matter? in the end, you are left to choose one of two choices - to reject completely this behavior and wipe it out or to appease such people by allowing them to manipulate you and your policy for fear of conflict, only inviting more of the same behavior from them.
