WE supported brutal dictators throughout the Middle East since the 50's. Supported the Shah of Iran. Supported dicatorships in Saudi and Kuwait, among others, since the 40's. Those dicatorships sold oil to become rich and let their people eat goat meat. They could pull that off because of western military support. Of course we always maintained we were protecting our economic interests. WE ARMED OSAMA BIN LADEN in the 90's! I know arab people. They have historically liked Americans, but they hate what our government does. They are retaliating against US aggression and intervention in their affairs. Just because you live in the United States doesn't mean you're always right. Our country has been an aggressor throughout the world for 50 or more years. Why else do you supposed they want to attack us so badly. Bush says they hate our freedom. Do you actually believe that? They want us to STOP fucking with them. They are fair and decent people, and if we stop, they will too. But if we continue, they will come here and terrorize you until you learn your lesson. AmeriKKKa is on it's way down. You can beat the drums and repeat the mantra "we're the greatest, we're the best, god loves us more." In the end it isn't going to matter. The whole world knows what's going to happen, but you poor undereducated AmeriKKKans sit blindly and repeat the party line, and march lockstep into the abyss. It's your future; do as you will. You could stop this now, but you haven't the will or the brains. Good luck.
