None of what I wrote was an excuse for Islamic radicalism or that the attacks were completely justified. You're merely demonizing me like you did before implying I don't love my country and that I seek to excuse things similar to the holocaust. Disgusting.
My final commentary on the matter clarified for you; I merely presented you facts and historical evidence supporting the fact that terrible things happen and sometimes there's more than oh they just hate Freedom, etc. or the cliche arguments that they are just pure evil. My point is the American people were the one's that suffer because of this, while people in the places of power in this government that should be doing what is right are just sitting on their asses and getting rich. Every decision has a consequence and by using the philosophy of the enemy of my enemy is my friend all the time over the last century, it's really bitten us in the ass.
I'd rather have us be isolationists and focus on protecting our citizen's individual rights. The problem with neo conservatives and most new age followers of this twisted form of conservatism that are zealots, is that they have forgotten that to question and have opposing views is still a right of the individual in this country. Worrying about our country and making sure the Constitution is obeyed is instead painted as disloyalty rather than what it really is, Patriotism. Look even Habeas Corpus is essentially dead after the bill that was past last year by congress, which was just tacked on as an afterthought. I can't stand hypocrisy and that's what's seething in our government right now. If we held true to our virtues and embodied pure democracy, rather than just pissing on the constitution and everything freedom stands for when it doesn't serve megalomanic will, then maybe the rest of the world would respect us again.
So what's your stance on China's government? They are still communist and oppressive to their people, yet you thought not to include them in this debate of those who "Oppose freedom."
