I can't believe what you just said.
There is always a motive for actions such as 9/11, but think about what you are saying before you just type up some stupidity like that.
Just because there was a motive, DOES NOT JUSTIFY IT. The group of TERRORISTS (because that is what they were) is a group of people that are out to completely destroy those with different views from their own. In the case of 9/11, it meant the deaths of thousands of INNOCENT men, women, and children. Give me one motive that JUSTIFIES that. |
Did I ever say it was justified?
No.
But the other guy said they would attack us for no reason. Which is wrong.
But ultimately, if you look at the time line, the US government brought this onto themselves. None of these countries in the Middle East were going in the direction they are now. Nearly all these countries were going towards nationalism.
However the US couldn't have that. If these countries were to become more democratic and independent, they would take some of their oil for themselves. That's why the US over threw many of these governments.
Iran is a perfect example:
Now what happened was simple. When you took these people's governments, they resorted to their religion in their desperation. And now all of a sudden you have radical leaders coming into power. The US became their scape goat.
To say they attacked the US because "they hate our freedoms" or any other bullsh.t like that is idiotic. The US created serious turmoil in the Middle East, and now it has come to bite them in the ass.
