Going back to mr ogre’s original statement:
[quote=John Ogre]The saddest part of all of this psycho-religious observance is that most Americans are far too ignorant to understand that 911 and Pearl Harbor were both direct responses to the USA acting as the world’s bully.
The naive masses act as if we have never bombed and killed innocents and yet we routinely kill more innocent people than what died in either incident.

So John, you think Bin Laden was upset with our bullying, and if only we bullied less 9/11 wouldn’t have happened? What do you think were his motivations for declaring war on the “far enemy” and executing 9/11? It’s not a mystery, he stated his positions and rationale multiple times. In my opinion he wanted to overthrow the Saudi royals, and all his actions in reality stemmed from that.
If that is so, then we didn’t really “reap what we sowed” unless you think we should try to appease any and all individuals who make demands on our foreign policy for their own ends.
To your second paragraph: anyone, please tell me the last time we bombed and killed 3000 innocents. You say we do it “routinely”. So, when was the last time? Thanks.
